LannyBob,
I must be honest here and state that both the models I have received that are the China Model aircraft are made well enough. I've the F6F and large P-38. The F6F is a good flyer and the P-38 has good flight reports so far. Their quality has imporved over the years. and the price is very good for what you get. Beware of sellers...

I have serious issues with the seller...Nitro Models, or Nitro Planes...(they use both names). THIS SELLER SUCKS TAIL WIND, HAS NO CUSOMER SERVICE AND FORGET REPLACEMENT PARTS. They lie to you on shipping replacements, and in short, I have no idea why they are allowed to sell on R/C Universe. There reputation is in the gutter...and I'm trying to be nice to them here.

There are other good sellers here that deal in China Models...and AK Models has received good reports.

Don't knock the actual product unless you have first hand information to share.

There are always issues with ARF models. I have bought and built ARF's from just about everyone at one time or another. All have issues, some more then others...and all you need to do is to read up a bit to know that this is how it is. If you want a model with out issues...build a kit, or modify an ARF to your spects...and this is exactly what I do. I usually toss out the hardware, fuel tanks and wheels and install my own hardware and gear. Then I know I'll not lose a model because a plastic "what ever" broke and caused your new pride and joy to rekit itself.

Soft landings always,
Bobby of Maui
