Got another couple.
The now OOP Global Raven .40. Sensational looking model. Not bad quality, but had the most evil flying "manners" I have encountered.
I crashed one (not hard) and bought a 2nd (very generous run out deal, last one on the shelf) to just build and hang up as an ornament. I haven't put it together yet. One day when I have nothing to do and the rain is pouring down!
Then there was the also now (thank goodness) OOP VMAR Scanner.
That model was a tip stalling B>@#%t of a thing.
It had to be landed at about 2/3rds throttle or it would just drop a wing. You had to bring it in ah la "touch and go" and snap the throttle off at precisely the same moment as the wheels touched.
They were cheap when they 1st appeared and many guys at my club bought one. Within weeks the field was littered with the splintered wreckage of these deadful models. None are left now, which is not surprising.
And to back up Pt Magu's comments. I am in the process of building a World Models Super Sports 40S.
Well, even the great World Models are skimping on glue!!!
A look into the tank bay at the firewall revealed that there was NO glue holding the firewall in. 1st landing would have been a disaster!
And there is so much slop in the ailerons I gotta cut down into where the torque rods fit into the ailerons and pack out with epoxy.
My Phoenix Tucano was far superior to this. Even VMAR models don't have crappy ailerons.
World Models are slipping.
