balsa sticks

First off my thanks to your phone rep.Bobby Mills who was nice enough to find and supply me with strut hardware from one of your arf Telmaster kits.You do not find this kind of service often, I am sure I will be back to Hobby Lobby for other hobby items.The Telmaster kit I received from Hobby Lobby contained some poor wood and the rib die cutting was very poor the balsa in the ribs had a lot of black marks. I added spars on the top and bottom of the wing behind the main spar to stop flexing in the wing structure.I also planked the top and bottom of the fuselage to stiffen it up.I guess I am a kit basher. From looking at the arf Telmaster it looks like it is not quite the same as the kit version is there any chance you might produce a kit version of the arf? The kit is still a pleasure to build project and I only mention my changes to the kit as areas that could be improved on.
