Blenderpilot (and everyone else too)
Your experience is unfortunately all too common - at nearly every manufacturer. It pays to have someone go over the machine with a fine-tooth comb (or other appliance of your choice).
The story of the FW is also all too common.
There are those who make a living from accepting aircraft from manufacturers. For some reason the manufacturers hate to see them coming -when you'd expect them to love to find a way for manufacturing to be improved!
I just wonder what will happen when a helicopter manufacturing company really, truly pays attention to quality processes...
