Default RE: GP Cap 232

For Great planes to say that the glue joint failed is WRONG there were 3 other very experienced pilots up at the field that day and all said it was the product that had failed
One builds jets the other has years of scratch building, myself Fly and build large scale war birds 100inch plus
This plane was flown round at half throttle for the flight and there was no real stresses put on this model at all, even if there was a 20cc engine mounted it still would have failed.
This was a trim flight only.
The wing was joined together with Z epoxy 30 minute glue and if you look at the photos closely you will see that it is the other half of the wings rib still attached and that it is the timber that has torn
My back ground is Carpentry joinery and anybody with half a brain can see the results
Shame on Great Plane for not admitting to this poor quality product and a least sending Dan a new set of wings for free
The reason I know this is because I am the Pilot that flew it that day and if a product fails not due to poor construction, you would think that a company would back up there product and service the correct way .
WELL GREAT PLANES SINCE THERE IS NO SERVICE WHEN IT IS CLEAR IT’S A FAILED PRODUCT I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND YOUR PRODUCT AGAIN NOR WILL I BUY IT.
