Ok we are missing the point .
1) yes we will all use common knowledge and fix any thing we dont like with an ARF .
2) yes we should only buy planes equal to our experience levil so we can possibly detect problems
3) Experience will always help in seeing the unexpected
Ok all that being said ....It will never excuse the basic assumption that the plane was built to fly in a safe and reliable manner that would pass the club presendents view or any person with modeling experienced or AMA background .
As you all know we read post on wing ribs that dont touch, fiberglass that is simply to light for the load, engine bulkheads that were not designed correctly ect. If these planes are "Bid out " to three suppilers the US importer will hope he gets his planes to specs .If not you have to hope he has the ethics to reject the planes .
How do you think TOWER HOBBIES was started? It was the reject center for Great planes. Example , they had speed controllers made for the T-Max, all bad &rejected so the bought them for pennies, sold as tower , if three out of 4 -stick they made money , do the research,and you will find these statements to be fact . Good luck but dont accept poor quailty and you will see poor quality go away . Nothing made US cars better then quality imports , consumers responded and finally so did the US car manufacters after 20 years of watching sales on imports grow .
