Received mine the other day. I had issues with packing as well. Nose scrunched a bit. Warped vert. stabs as well. What did you use for heat source to un-warp them?
@RoryFlick Damn must be a factory defect-- I used the flash unit for my screen printing biz. and the heat vent from my conveyor dryer. I'd say a hairdryer would work just as well, make sure you heat the side that is spooned, so imagine if its shaped like a spoon heat the inside of the spoon so the foam expands and straightens. I also had to heat my wing. Do it a little at a time-- and BE CAREFUL not to over heat-- the foam is low quality and will bubble if you over heat! Good luck!
I just got the mini A-4 50mm. It's no where near as fast at my mini F-18 50mm EDF. Its elevator setup with the control rods were pretty crappy. I modified it and it's all good. I'm waiting for camera to come in and video the flights.
@BADMAMERJAMMA Cool-- hope to see the vids soon. I think most of the stock on ALL of these is bottom feeder quality-- better to get the kit version I reckon, but then you have purchase all the components and make sure its its gonna fit! Good luck!
It's sweet-- check out the maiden-- aside from the list of quality control issues it is a very cool tiny EDF jet. I flew in windy conditions and still was fairly stable for such a small plane-- I'd say go for it!
banana need we say more.
