I hear you fellas I have had ARFS from all these but tell you the truth mabey I am to picky. The Quique Yak (in question) is an awsome airplane but for $400 bills I think I will just order the airframe parts the next time. Its not 2-56 but definantly not 4-40 either and when I put $1000 plus in the air I don't need 99 cent piece doing me in, but this is the hobby right. The Cap X and the Hanger 9 stuff all had some really good hardware. The Sig stuff was alright but thats about when I started to switch stuff up. Right now the majority are replacing a lot of stuff, mabey knock off a hundred bucks from my ARF and give me an excuse to hang at my local hobby shop. No real reason for starting this thread except the frustration of getting this thing together, I wanted to see if I was the only one out ther in this deptment. The only thing I used stock was the gear and hinges.......
