RE: General Hobby ARF P-51 kits. Any good?
I would DEFINITELY STAY AWAY from General Hobby. The Ulitmate 120 Biplane I purchased on 03/28/2011 is a POS. There were no instructions at all in the box although a telephone call to Rich (barely speaks English) and a simblance of an instruction manual was sent via email attachment. The manual doesn't begin to adequately describe how to finish construction.
The aircraft covering was completely wrinkled and pulled loose in numerous spots, many of the hinge slots were cut crooked, the hardware package is typical Chinese crap, and customer service is non-existent. I've sent 3 emails now with no response whatsoever.
I'll be opening up a conflict resolution case wtih PayPal in the next day or two.
Stick with an established, quality company and you'll have much better success in purchasing a quality kit, ARF, or RTF.
Your results may vary....
