Hi,
Well there were a lot of issues with the ARF that Troy Built did not address directly, only stated they would contact China and let them know about the problems.



[size=2]I hear ya brother. I bought a Beaver at TBM's Black Friday Fiasco Sale in November. I have it about 95% done. This is the third ESM bird I have built and I must say they could of done a better job. They must of changed the the fuselage mold as the fire wall sure looks different. I went with the Pull - pull rudder and used a fiberglass push-rod on the elevator. The wing struts were cut too short by a half inch to meet the pre installed blind nuts. The canopy latch wood was cut way wrong. This all added about 10 hours to the construction time but is do-able.

I hope they get the float kit in some day, $100 for those seems like a good deal.

And does anyone have any De Havilland artwork Logo's? I would like to make some decals


[size=3] EDIT: I just went to the TBM website THE BEAVER is DISCONTINUED..[&o]

Anyone have a set of floats for sale?????
