Default RE: Aeroworks Quality

Well, so far I have been using Tower and Phoenix. Phoenix (atleast the older kits) are heavy builds and fairly well put together. GP are very lightly built. In either case, after a few mishaps and after reading user opinions, I began spending a lot of time reinforcing my airplanes before they even flew. My current Phoenix Extra 330S 62" 60-90 is fitted with a DLE 20 and has so much reinforcement, I had a mid air with a foamy and no damage where as the foamy got minced. However, the airplane has play in the way the wings are bolted causing it to jink suddenly. Also, I am not too happy with the Phoenix hardware whereas GP is fairly good.

Given these considerations and that I am prone to adding reinforcement- tristock, fibreglass, additional ply etc where I feel its needed, should I expect AW to be better than Phoenix and GP? Reviews of the Yak 120 on most websites are fairly good and its an older design. I have a Funtana too but I havent opened it yet
