I've had two of them. The landing gear on the first delaminated after a couple of bad landings, but was easily repaired. The second gear was excellent. Phoneman's observation of the control horns is dead on. You probably don't need to replace anything, but for sure when you put the stuff together, use red (permanent) Loctite.
