Do MSH rep's even exist?

Yup, there is a rep (owner actually I think) around here somewhere, dont remember their username.

They must send all the dud kits over to the US, both my mini P and P500 were perfect.

I had to file one side of the bottom block to make it align with the other blocks. Some of the aluminum inserts feel cheap, too. HD's answer to my complaint: "Yep, that's MSH. Be glad you are not missing any parts." WTF? I'm still waiting a call back from Larry since the other guy was no help.

Hmm, that's a little bit disturbing. My kit is over 2 years old, they may have some QC issues then.

Hope you get this sorted, it's a great heli.

I just started putting together a kit I picked up unbuilt from a friend, and it has some of these poorly-inserted inserts in the servo frames too. Not sure what I'm going to do about it yet, but they definitely have some QC issues going on.
