In my opinion, the cat is out of the bag now. There have been a lot of people with SM issues but have been afraid of coming out of the closet out of fear of not being able to get repalcement parts or service from SM and SM dealers. Not just the lower end stuff like this, but the bigger models as well. Of course, the more expensive the model, the more likely that the costumer will get "better" service.

The picture above, is a picture of crap. It needs to be added to Wikepedia. All that white glue is supposed to hold a wing from detaching in flight? Scary stuff! What I don't understand is how somebody like BVM would deal this POS!!
What about the people who gave up waiting on parts, or who had to wait for months? What kind of %hit is this?

From seing SM and FEJ I see a lot in common. The only difference I can tell is that SM has better air systems. It seems like they use that white hot glue in lieu of propper structural reinforcement.

Again, like somebody said earlier, it is just a matter of making small changes to teh design that would go a long way, and take care of those who lost a model and/or equipment to make it right.
We need to put a stop to this customer mistreatment once and for all.
