I can't speak for the g-trick, but I have had problems in the past with kyosho arfs busting glue joints. On my Pitts S2C, after the second flight the firewall separated and the only thing holding the firewal/engine on was the cowl. Still landed it safely, but it still shouldn't have happened. I emailed Kyosho and aparently they went through a period where they had a bad batch of glue. Kinda makes you wonder huh!!! I personally will NOT own another Kyosho plane again. Lost my pitts and my cap 232, but that's a totaly different story......

Pretty similar. But the Kyosho cost over 2 times more that the GP. Plus the GP ARFs are built allot better that the Kyosho. This is just my $.02. But I know which one I would get!! I hope this helps ya out!! :thumbup:
