Default RE: HOW GOOD ARE KYOSHO PLANES?

I beg to differ that all Kyosho models are good!
I assembled a Kyosho P-40 that was less than great,first off the wing did not fit in the fuselage saddle and had to cut it out and carve out the front wing hold down hole,second, when installing the wheel well in the wings,to put them where they showed caused me to cut into a wing rib,third the covering was shelf paper and started peeling off after some fuel got on it.
I flew this plane quite a bit,it really looks nice but after about 20 flights it took a dirt nap.(engine flameout on takeoff)
I did buy another one because it was the best looking P-40 ARF in a 40 size out there and I haven't flown the new one yet because they do not make this plane anymore and just want to admire it a little longer.
