RE: Nitroplanes.com
I have noticed that quite a few of their planes are made by CMP. The CMP ARFs I have seen were GENERALLY pretty decent.
As with any ARF, you have the covering (most times you don't know what it is) and then there is the hardware.
As an example , I recently bought a Speedy Bee ARF. There is a review I have started on it here. I wouldn't use the hardware provided with the plane on a Slow Stick - it was that crappy. The pushrods were MAYBE 3/64" in dia (they looked a lot closer to 1/32" ) AND THREADED ON THE END for the clevises. This is for a plane that was designed (and recommended power) for a 28 2 stroke !!!!
You definitely need to check the hardware on ANY ARF or kit and see if it is decent quality or not and whether or not you want to risk the plane, engine and electronics with it.
