In the mean time he is having another brand of plane being shipped to me as its replacement.
If you fly one Mike you will see that all the little "fixes" are well worth it. Mine has a ton of airtime on it already and it is a freestyle monster!! The precision is being tweaked but is excellent as well. Sad to hear you are giving up on it so quickly.

Some are coming in lighter than advertised, at like 16 pounds with little effort to keep it light. It's going to fly awesome, so don't worry about that if you are on the fence about it.

It wasn't my plane to be making the decision with. It was a good decision though in my mind, besides he ended up with a plane that just can't be beat, especially at his piloting skills.

That may be up for discussion ... Don't know that you can make that determination until you fly them all Mike.

Re-weighed after removing the choke servo and I'm coming in at less than 16.1 lbs now, down from 16.35, even then it flew amazingly now I can practically thermal it

Yea, well, maybe if we all got our stuff for free like others do, then we could do that. But we have to spend our $$$ money on our stuff, LOL...

Free, wouldn't that be nice!!! I had to work for it just like you but instead of getting paid cash I got airplane and accessories. I vowed not to spend my work money on planes or credit cards like others do, so that was my only logical alternative to obtaining what I wanted...

You flying anymore Mike??

All the time. There's been a fun fly every weekend for the past month though, so I've been hitting all those.
