Has anybody else noticed that there may be a QC problem with the various A-4s?
I just received the Aussie A-4, and without taking it out of the box I can see that the horizontal stab is mounted at an angle, instead of being perpindicular to the vertical stab (as it should be). I would chock this up to being just a problem with this particular example, except that I received the Argentine A-4 a few months back, and it had the same problem. Did I just happen to have the bad luck of receiving bad individual examples, or is there a legitimate tail horizontal stab issue with the HM A-4s?

I've got two of the birds and I haven't noticed any problems.

Just checked my Gladiator version. Did not see any problems.

Here's what I mean- on both planes, the horizontal stab droops to the right. Noticeably. I saw this as soon as I opened the box of each model.
These models are from two different production batches. I'm thinking either the jig for setting the horiz stab was misaligned with the vertical stab when this was being assembled, or the people in the factory didn't allow enough time for the glue to dry before shipping it off to the next place on the line.
If it was just one model affected, I'd dismiss it as luck of the draw getting a bad individual example. But, two models, from different production batches, having the same flaw?

Rush, the Aussie h.stab and v.stab look equally down under?!
