Maybe I started this mess by complaining about my AMD Discus. It really is bad news.. If others are like me, we often buy a kit and then don't get around to building it for 1 or 2 years. maybe that is the lack of complains.. as it was, I actually started mine within days of getting mine from california. the Seller was a gentleman who clearly stated: " I no fly glider" He was fast and a decent man. I mean no disrespect to him by my complaints.. I have a zillion other kits from all sorts of companies, new and vintage... to my eye, these are glossy and look fine until you try to put them together.. nothing lines up, terrible glue, holes that are so far off, that you can see them with the naked eye from across the room. Maybe I got the only "bad apple"
