Having had problems with Skymaster before on the quality side if things, and having an issue hopefully getting sorted now, I must say that it does seem that thir stuff works more often than not when compared to the other manufacturers. SM seems to have a better quality both structurally as well as cosmetically. Their landing gear is some of the best there is ( FEJ, FeiBao, etc , have been plagued with gear problems .. ) on the other hand its not cool to see tails ripping off of SM A-10s either .. but then again, BVM had booms ripping off of their KingCats, and noses ripping off of Ultra Bandits .. Every manufacturer will have issues. Just depends what kind of issues you are willing to deal with :\ ... its probably not easy for them to deal with us hobbyists sometimes either , lol

For me , ( so far ) CARF has been the only company without any issues yet and I have been through several of their planes... then again, i did have to wait 5+ months on a spare replacement elevator once ...
