In defence of C-ARF I have built a few pattern planes from other manufacturers and in all cases I am very glad I have gone back to first principles and established my own datum lines; and that includes some of the well known and more expensive European manufacturers. I have yet to find one that is right. The only exception was my Oxai Impression -- but that is much more more completed than the Impact -- but I would give it A+ for accuracy. C-ARF have (to date with the Impact) had a few problems with wind and stab tubes etc. I haven't seen in others (and I am sure they will get over).

But overall it is great we have competitive models in this price range, and a great community of modellers (and forums) to help build all our skills. What else would we do in deep winter?
