I was actually mostly pleased with my recent Hanger 9 Saratoga. It's pricy for what it is (a basic sport model) but I must say the covering was excellent and I dod not have to shring out ANY wrinkles. Haven't touched it yet a month later.

There was a BIG problem with the wing bolts. They did not tighten and I could pull them straight up & out with finger pressure. I pushed out the stock T-nuts and screwed in threaded brass inserts. This "oops" could have potentially cost a model IMHO. Cheap & easy fix - but shame on Hanger 9.

The good news is that the Saratoga is a joy to fly and I really, really like the airplane. Bottom line is it is an ARF but, ultimately, the pilot is responsible to make sure it is airworthy. Same for any make.
