Of the poll choices offered, I had to answer sometimes.

Once upon a time it was uniformly so bad I would've thrown all supplied ARF hardware out. But The World Models Mfg. ARFs and their quality control standards have changed that.

Although still by no means having achieved the standard of DuBro, Sullivan or Great Planes et al in their accessory range, nevertheless the quality of hardware as supplied with World Models ARFs is IME all definitely usable (safe) and offers acceptable (reliable) performance for sport flying.

That it does the job deters me replacing hardware unless absolutely necessary, which amounts to a massive $$$ saving. Presumably this is why the local distributors of Du Bro et al, have over recent years reduced their outrageous retail pricing significantly as an enticement to modellers to maintain the quite economically painful practice of replacing hardware items now that it's no longer a necessity?
