If you are looking for ARFs with good pricing and still want a decent quality plane then look at Seagull models instead. They make their own version of almost everything Vmar makes but the quality is much better. Also check out World Models airplanes. The quality is first rate, the planes go together quick, and the planes fly very well. Some great 2nd plane choices from WM would be thr Rambler, Super Sports, or the T34.
