I used to have the hangar 9 carden extra and the plane was a great plane. Just a few things though that you will encounter with a lot of arfs....usually cowl rings come loose over time. I usually apply fiberglass to the cowl ring regardless of the brand of arf to prevent them from coming loose in the future. Also the servo pockets for the elevators are very shallow on that plane. If you have a taller servo you may have to shim it in order for it to fit, you will also have to shave some of the foam out of the pocket in order to tuck the servo wire around to get it through the outlet. Just remember most arfs are built on an assembly line and at times there are things that won't line up or may need a little engineering to fit the equipment you are installing. As for the covering on the motor box, I do not remember mine having any. I think alot of people add that for the bling affect. I do think the first former was covered up to the motor box but I honestly can't remember. Also wheel fairings usually need to be trimmed up a little bit around the gear to get them to fit properly.
On the other hand, if you receive a plane that is cracked up or or has pieces missing then I would complain to the manufacturer but I feel what you are encountering is very typical. I've built a dozen or so 50-100cc arfs over the past 2 years and have found that the extreme flights and hangar 9 planes have probably gone together the best and have included the best hardware fwiw.
