The Aerotech-UK from ATI has long had a horrendous reputation. UK shops will not stock them. They have never got reviewed in the mags because none of the review kits could be completed, or if they could they were unflyable. The parts don't fit by a big margin, parts are missing, if you can get in touch with the firm they will promise to send replacements for missing parts but never do, and so on. A few years back my LHS got a few and asked friends to build a couple to hang up for display - they were never done because they could not be completed. Aerotech has a big stand at every UK model show yet I have never seen anyone flying their models - even Aerotech never fly their models at the trade shows! Two years ago 2 friends bought their sports model, I didn't see them fly but I did ask about them and both had problems getting parts to fit, both models survived a few flights before handling problems destroyed them. Their profile models are ok but avoid the "real" models, the majority are lemons.
