Well, I have a few bad things to say about my VF Extra 66". First, the sign vinyl covering looks like crap and I believe that this adds unnecessary weight to the plane. The white on the wing is sort of a milky color and the ailerons are stark white, not a good look. Also, the white "afterthought" pieces at the trailing edge of the wing looks like crap too. The ailerons are about 1/8" too wide so there is a mismatch at th t.e. And my left wing panel has some markings on the red leading edge piece where it looks like someone used a cleaner of some sort on it and it ate the shine off of the covering. Lastly, the wheel pants are a joke!! All of this was noticed about a week ago when I started the build. (Ive had the plane sitting in the box since may or so) All in all I still think it was a fair deal, but these are things that should be addressed. Sorry to rain on the VF party, but I've had fewer issues with some Chinese arfs that someone "threw together before lunch".
Does it really look like crap, or are you just having a bad day? If it really does look like crap, then I am sorry to hear that. I have a post here on R/C Universe titled "ARFS TO AVOID AT ALL COST", and I don't recall the name VectorFlight being tossed around in there, but there was quite abit mentioned about some of the Chineese ARFs you make reference to. Everyone is intitled to opinion, but so many good things have been said about the VectorFlight Planes, that your post really suprised me. And since I have one on order, I really do hope that you are in the minority of people who think this ARF is crap.
