Default Vmar Arf's

:thumbdown I had one of the newer VMAR ARFS PILATUS Pc-9..it was the worst kit or arf I ever built ( built about 25 kits and arfs in the last eight years since coming back to the hobby)....there wasnt a good glue joint in the fuselage...the power module was a joke had to make new firewall and glue it on .....the wood in this plane was bad broke easliy glue would not stick to it well...it cant be balsa.....wing hold down plate was not glued in well polled it out by hand ...had to make new one and glue it in....horizontal stab slot came apart during assembly....had to take apart and remake tale of plane.......all pushrods and hardware was junk...fiberglass cowl was thick and heavy but craked easily and paint was not fuel proof.......engine mount would not work for 46FX.and it stripped easily.... plastic servo tray stripped easily and didnt hold servos well...landing gear was soft and bent during taxing.....plane only lasted 8 flights ..fuselage came apart in flight during a snap manover.just behind the wing...plane was heavy 6 lbs 12 %......it did fly and land well but would tip stall easily....save your money buy something else..... VMAR MAKE EXTREMELY LOUSY PRODUCTS !!!!!!!!#########
