the Wold Models planes
 
I tell you, if I knew 1&1/2 years ago how much trouble these 2 planes would have given me, I would have quit flying 1&1/2 years ago, the frustration is not worth the trouble

Which models are you speaking of? I'm looking at purchasing a clipped wing cub from them.

My LA Racer is an excellent airplane, apart from the covering material, but the price has gone up to more than I will pay for it.

My Extra 300S is a great ARF.

I did not say their planes were badly made or didn't fly well !! I just got an Email from them, they do not stock the part I need, I will have to make it

That's true, you didn't say anything about what your problem was with them. You got responses from people who are not frustrated with our planes. You, for unknown reasons, are frustrated with yours.

yee-up, that's true,, and I found a few more problems

hey guys, you can Congratulate me, since I have posted last night I have found 2 more problems in the replacement wing that will take me a good 4 or 5 or more hours to fix,,

1&1/2 years, $350, a new replacement wing, a new Retract, 15 hours of extra work, never in the air, engine never mounted, and still extra work needed fo new problems,

hey, no problem, others have nice flying planes LOL

LOL wow, who would have guess, another problem, I went to mount the Rudder and Stab today, well, the factory did NOT mount the rudder straight on the stab, there was a bad bind, I tried to fix it, but it's not right, so I can't use it, I need a new one,

BTW, I did the math

ARF Kit & shipping........................... $252
Replacement Wing & shipping..........$100
Replacement Retract & shipping........$34

I have $386 invested into the air-frame of a $229 kit ,,, Engine and Radio Set not yet mounted,
the question is> unlike the replacement wing will a new rudder & stab be flawless and not gouged, maybe they will send me one
