Just wanted to say that I own a few arfs from Pheonix Models from vietnam. I have to say I am happy with every single one.
I have the paragon trainer, pheonix comet pattern, and the pheonix extra300s. The arfs are nice quality (pinned hinges nice covering, hardware, the wood is good, glue joints never failed.)
They fly great, are pretty light also. Something to look into if you're shopping for a low cost arf that is nicely built..

I'm sure you can get them at local hobby shops in the U.S . we get them in canada.

For those of you wanting a fast aerobatic plane try out the comet or the scanner..
