Default Escapade Problems?

Hello!

Recently, I was on a trip, and (naturally) had to stop by a hobby shop. They had a few Escapeds for $110, and I just had to pick one up. Unbelievable prefabrication - everything's hinged, fuel tank is built, engine mount installed....

This scares me. I don't know if they have skimped on quality in areas, because everything is already done, and they somehow managed to make it cost practically nothing!

There were several notices included, and replacement parts bagged, obviously due to previous issus, and there are a few fixes noted on Tower Hobbies. I don't usually buy ARTF's, so all these technical addressments make me want to see if anyone has found anything else. I have heard rumours of quality problems.

Has anyone had any issues with this plane?Any changes I need to make?Parts to replace?

Thank you

Graeme
