If you are talking about www.vqwarbirds, then absolutely! Tomas is, as far as I am concerned on the top of the "Let me order from this guy" list. Well packaged for shipment products, excellent customer service, and never had an issue when I needed some questions answered. By from Tomas and you'll be another satisfied customer.

RE: VQ Warbirds anybody?
Could you please post some personal pics of some planes that you have purchased from this website? I am looking to purchase the P-40 Black Horse and i'm mainly wanting to make sure that all their models look as good shipped as they do on the website.

If you want some one that will take care of you after the sale Tomas at VQ warbirds is the place to buy. I have bought over 10 planes from VQ in the past 4 years. He does not carry Junk. If you have a problem he will go out of his way to make it right. Here is a few planes I have bought from Tomas

I have had such a great experience with VQ. I bought their Mig 3 ARF, its a beautiful plane and flys great. And Tomas has been such a help to me while building it ; Tomas is the guy to talk to if u have questions or need something (I believe his username is nemisis4u). Overall they are a good company as far as products and customer service. I attached some pics of my Mig 3...

I have Three planes from VQ Models. Tomas is the absolute best. After seeing my planes and the quality of them a number of my fellow club members ordered from VQ as well. The best part is that Tomas is the kind of businessman that will address your questions or issues himself and work out a resolution with you. Check out and subscribe to one of the VQ plane build site's and see for yourself how the other guys feel about him and the VQ products.

RE: VQ Warbirds anybody?
I have had the following VQ warbirds, bought from Tomas: BF109, FW 190 (X2), P-40 (X2), and am in the process of assembly of an ESM P-51B. Flew the covering off the 109, crashed the first FW190 after many, many flights, second FW 190 is in the garage in semi retirement, first P-40 died an early death due to way too much throw of the elevator, the send P-40 hit a fence on her second take off run (Sad, so very sad), but the first one flew great, until I discovered the error I made in the throws, I have no idea why the second one pulled so hard to the left and failed to respond to right rudder input. I also have a BH P-40 I bought from Hobby People before Tomas offered them. She has had some issues with the stock retracts, have Lado Tech retracts on her now, and she should be okay, but dropped a wing on my last attempt to take off....wanted to fly before she had the speed to do so. All of my VQ planes flew great, despite the crashes, which I put on myself. Tomas is, as most will agree, a very stand up guy, and a pleasure to do business with. Go to his website and you'll see videos of my Bf109 and FW 190 on his plane pages. See my P-40 flight review [link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNABwlH8y_w]HERE[/link]

I bought the VQ FW-190, the quality is OK for the price..I do think the balsa they use is too thin or something because its not a very strong plane like my Top Flites..I hear the wings cracking just by handling them ... I had to do some modifications to get it to fly off my grass field, I had to put a wedge in the landing gear to angle it as far forward as possible to stop the front flips..The spilt flaps on it are small and in my opinion useless,the pivoting mechanism they use is weak and prone to failure... I glued them shut and cut regular flaps into the wings which use standard servos

RE: VQ Warbirds anybody?
Ditto on all the positive comments about Tomas and his customer service.
I have bought four VQ twins over the last 5 years and here are the three still flying.
Like all ARF's, certain parts of the kits need up-grading: landing gear, some of the wood, some of the hardware: to make a sturdy fly-every-weekend plane, but overall, VQ is about the best you can do.
