Just got the sheeted version. Wings are badly bowed and chunks of balsa missing. Not impressed. I believe ARFs achieve or surpass this quality especially considering price.
I have no desire to complete this airplane as of now so if anyone wants it Id let it go for price kit + ship. Everything is nib.

Have you contacted the maker of the kit? If so, what was the response you received?

I ordered a pre-sheeted 50cc kit and am wondering if it is possible to weight these back into position. I dont really want to wet things, and the TE's and Le's are not attached yet.

Thanks

do you have any pics of the warp in the wing? Is there is only a problem with the wings or more problems ?

waiting for dig cam. Everything looks good but the cowl is dinged up, vert fin is missing some sheeting (split with grain at front) and the wings are horribly terribly warped - especially 1. It can be noticed straight on without sighting down the te. Stabs look good. I dont know maybe its a climate thing? Ive had weight on them for 2 days now and see no change. Too bad cuz the work that these guys did looks like a good attempt w/ good wood but everything is all wonky.

Maybe my expectations were off.

Ill get some pics tommorrow.

Thanks

Sounds like you should have filed a claim with the shipper if you didn't. Sounds like some significant shipping issues.

How is this the shippers fault? There were absolutely no signs of damage.

Have you talked to Tom T yet ? I think you need to. Ask for another set of wings . The wings should be perfect as you expected.
