I've had different ARF planes by the same company that were different as night and day. One will be great quality and good hardware and the other crappy all the way around. I ask around and do a lot of research on the particular plane now before I buy it. I wish I had time and a good workshop to kit build all my planes. I'm not knocking ARF's. I've had some really good ones, but with a kit you always know exactly what you've got.
