In my opinion, H9 and Great Planes are among the leaders in balancing quality, performance, appearance, affordability, and completeness in their ARFs. I say this based on personal experiance with many of their productions.
From what I can tell, they wish each plane to be a success for it's owner and work to make it so. Add to that the availability of replacement parts and how affordable they make them, and you really do have a great chance to enjoy you plane for a long time. Also adding to the overall value.
Not a commercial here, and I have no vested interest in either company. Just glad they are around and hope they will be for many years, with our support.
