    OH, sorry. I thought you were in the US. That would probably cost too much to ship here. Thanks for the reply and good luck building. God Bless.

    Hi Martin,

    Thank you for your comments. I have to say, you are not alone cursing those terrible plans.

    I am building a 750 and was thinking of upgrading to an 801 becasue of the type of flying I am planning on doing in Northen Quebec. I need more payload to go fishing, hunting, camping etc

    I did visit 4 builders of 750 builders in the last two weeks and all of them are all frustrated with the quality, completness and clarity of the instructions/manuals/plans.

    Their management of plan revisions is absolutely irresponsible. We are left to ourselves via this community to figure out what's the latest update and if it's mandatory, optional, etc.

    Their instructions are of poor quality and leave the builder scratching his head most of the time...-:)

    Most of the time i find very important technical assembly instructions...WAY TOO LATE  in the build ....-:)

    They should survey their customer and I bet the management of their plans/versions will be close to #1 priority.

    As soon as we post anything that's not to their liking.. (like constructive criticism) they delete the post.

    it's a sad way of supporting your customers.

    If I ran my software company this way.....I wouldn't be in business for too long.
