I have been hearing a lot of complaints about the VMAR planes as well. I have flown 3 different ones now and they all did fine. Nothing to write home about but...there arnt many planes I write home about. I have flown the STick, the sport .40, and the edge 540. I dont really have any complaints with any of these planes b/c unlike many of the major distributors (particularly Horizon) they dont promise that their plane is the best thing since sliced bread. I do own 3 of the .46 VMAX BB motors made by VMAR and I am VERY VERY VERY pleased with these motors. I payed 60 bucks for mine and I swear to you that they are every bit as good as an O.S. .46 and close to a TT .46 pro.
