To be honest with you I got mine in mid august. and most of the initial troubles have been remedied. In my box there was the tech bulletin about the elevator, If you didnt have a tech bulletin in it I assume they have addressed the problem because Great Planes is pretty ontop of that. On my escapade I just followed the build instructions (including the tech bulletin for putting CA in the elevator joiner) and it flys like a dream. I have put my escapade through its fair share of high speed and high g maneuvers and had no problems with flutter or other problems found in the initial batches of escapades (jan of last year I think) Only thing to be careful of is the canopy. you really have to make sure its on there right. Mine has never come off but i double check its secure before each take off, i might throw a set screw on for back up.


enjoy her, the escapade is a blast!
