Hi Robert and thank you a bunch, I was looking all over for that box and kept looking in the wrong place. If you hadn't pointed it out I would still be looking!!!

Thing is the correct term too. It's an old ARF we got in an estate sale several years ago. We had so much STUFF, I posted a list of stuff we were selling without any prices on them but some one b itched about it and the thread was pulled but as I pointed out there were no prices mentioned so it got put back on. After the same butthead griped to the big powers I told them to pull it. Everything I wanted to sell got sold by then.
We kept a few kits and my buddy kept this ARF. He never did anything with it and gave it to me a week or so ago, Back in the day everyone thought the wing rib damage was just from shipping. It had two broken ribs on one wing and 7 out of nine broken in the other. No box damage though? When I pulled the yellow covering off the bottom I found out what caused the damage. The wing/plane was constructed first and the lightening holes in the ribs was die cut, dull dies though so when they tried to pop the holes the ribs broke, then it went to covering and they covered the plane and boxed and shipped it. Real quality control on the part of Horizon. Took me no time to figure out what had happened. They pulled this model several years ago so it's no longer made.
My question is, why would anyone buy such crap???
I'm still making repairs and making the needed changes. In the first review I read the firewall pulled out on the third flight and the LG block came off. Just making the normal ARF repairs, setting it up and probably going to sell it after the maiden flight? We will see, please don't hold this one shot deal against me!!!
I have a couple of kits almost finished being cut so I won't be on the dark side too long.
