OMP Edge or OMP Yak, very good ARF's.. the TMPro Extra is good also, not as good as the OMP though... Swanny's kits are good, stay well, well, well, well away from PA Badboy or the EF Chin Yak both are garbage, especially the PA Badboy.

i had both the BB and still have the ChinYak,the BB flies just ok and is very fragile.the ChinYak is one of the best 3dr's out there.nothing response to control inputs like the CY,but is also a little weak in the fuse, with the build up frame.it has a carbon fiber rod that runs the length of the fuse but still breaks just behind the canopy.the kit built ones have a foam fuse covered in balsa,those are the ones to have,if you can find one.

The Badboy has poor covering, pathetic hardware but flies ok, the chin yak is a good flyer but the elevator is weak, it snaps to easily, 2 of them destroyed themselves at our field...

I've got both a BB V2 and a Chinn Yak ARF. While I'm not sure I'd rank them down there with garbage, you pretty much nailed the major weak points of these planes.

check out value hobby, they have quite a few profiles. i don't think the chinn yak is garbage like some are saying, any plane is going to have a few flaws, i love the cy and i have a couple more new in boxes yet in case i doink this one beyond repair. i have flown mine now for 3 seasons and the worse thing that has happened is bent landing gear and the covering peeling back in places.
