Default RE: Are VMAR improving?

My first plane was a VMAR Hornet trainer, i spose overall it was pretty good... it looked good, flew really well and was super stable, yet with semi-symetrical wings it allowed for good pracitce of begginer aerobatics. After this i went to a Kyosho Calmato low wing and yes the quality jump was massive, but so was the price difference... since then i am now onto a new WM Dago red P51, and once again that was a another jump in price, and overall i am happy with the plane, quality wise tho its behind the kyosho.. the thing i noticed with the WM stang is there is a good amount of positives but a good amount of negatives too. The major points being the glass fuse is great, streamline fuse compared to the normal P51, pre fitted retracts, blah blah... the bad bits being their jigs musn't be very straight cos the fuse has a minor twist over the length of it, there is massive amounts of vibration through the fuse due to the fuel tank not being supported enough which means you have to do some nifty work to get it right otherwise you get mega glitches and screws start coming out lol etc. But i must say over all three manufacturers the Kyosho was supperbly built, looked excellent and and price couldn't be beaten. So atm my order is Kyosho, WM then VMAR, VMAR at the end because i don't expect them to be on par with the other too brands when $$$ are considered, as at the end of the day you get what you pay for, so for the $170AUS it cost me for the VMAR as a first plane i was very happy with it.
