PLENTY of companies are mass producing stuff with minimal testing and engineering, if any at all.
Is there a risk to the hobby? Sure.
But it's part of the price of the price.
Want something extensively tested for a year or more, with thirty years of experience behind it? Buy BVM. And pay double or more the price. And realize that sometimes even Ol' Bob misses something, and a plane goes in.
Some people are willing to pay the premium for all that testing. Most are not. Most of the time...most...it works out okay. I know Skymaster flew at least one of these, I saw the video on their website. Is it possible the wing will fail? Sure, it's possible. But if you want to be the first kid on your block with an ARF Phantom, you are taking something of a risk, yes. Adil knows that, I think. If this were a BVM ARF, it would be $10k or so. It would be better tested, sure, but very few guys would be willing to buy it. There is always comprimise...guys want cool jets for cheap. Nobody can afford to spend a fortune in time and money testing and engineering and still keep the dirt-cheap pricing, I guess.
