Hi Jeremy,

That's a great suggestion.

Basically all planes come in to our own club facility and got inspected for the following area

1) Wing structure - using pinhead camera to inspect all internal joints for any caps or insufficient adhesives

2) Count all parts and make sure they don't go missing.

3) Check paint jobs for blemishes

4) Repack them in our own corrugated boxes that's much stronger. Some members comment that "that's the toughest box coming out from Asia". If you have seen our boxes you will understand what I mean. As a matter of fact, we export these boxes along with other raw material and parts to our China facility regularly.

5)Modify, reinforce or upgrade the parts when necessary.

This is a continuous process as we gain more knowledge and understanding of how each airplane behaves. It's quite labor intensive because each airplane varies greatly from others. If a defect was found, at least the plane is still in China and it can be quickly replaced or repaired before they are sent to our club members worldwide. We do have our own mistakes too, so we just keep our communication open with our club members and inform them any possible safety issue with our planes, or modifications. We hire full time a group of member service rep in USA and China, and reps in Europe to identify problems discussed on RCU or other forums and generate CAPA (corrective action & preventive action) advisory to our members and also to our factories.

Basically, this is what we do over there now.
