Default GP Big Stik ARF

Well i'll tell you what ive seen with these arfs...
Raskco has 2 of them.. the traditional one( red) and the modern..
He flew the modern one for quite awhile and believe me he is very hard on airplanes.. Anyways after a billion flights on it, the plane needed a new covering job. When we stripped the covering off we noticed that most of the ribs in the wing were barely glued at all. Some had none! I couldn't believe it lasted that long without glue.. The firewall was just hanging by a thread as well..

I wonder about GP arfs sometimes.. And believe me guys, those 2 weren't the only ones we found those problems with..

I'm not bashing GP because they do have nice products but after all these examples of poor quality in these arfs it shows that alot of the "low end" arf manufacturers are not that far apart...

I've had cheap arfs that outlasted the expensive ones...
