OOH!! This is fun!!
I just bought a VMAR Stick for my kid. I don't expect it to last very long anyway. For $59 I got a decent looking plane. I used some of the hardware, but couldn't make myself use the hardware on the elevator. Another one of the quicklinks was stripped from the bag. One wing was warped, the predrilled holes for the horiz stab were drilled crooked and the wing servo interferes with the Engine throttle rod. Oh, and its a little heavy.
All minor fixes (except the weight). I knew what I was buying. It flies like a stick and hasn't self destructed yet. The price diff between a hanger 9 stick alone paid for the Engine. The kid is having a blast and doesnt know the difference, and I won't cry when it meets it's demise. VMAR...Quality? Nope, but it is serving it's purpose just fine.
