sounds too me that nitro planes is damn near junk.. you get what you pay for, expect it.

"You get what you pay for it" isn't true. Oh, were it true that the world were that simple. It isn't.
I have quite a few CMP made models. All of them were worth at least as much as what I paid for them. Not one has been unflyable/unbuildable/unmanageable.
No, they are not top of the line, but for well under $200, when compared to a Goldberg, Sig or Lanier ARF, they are wonderful bargains.
Selling me more quality than I need in a model that is going to suffer fuel soaking and normal hanger and field rash at a high price is not a bargain, to me. Our models are like hamburgers. You consume them and then they are gone forever. I don't fly museum pieces and wouldn't want the stress it would cause if I had them.
