IMHO the NP ARF kits I've purchased have all been fine.

They are just not for beginners looking for a bargain airplane.

They have all flown great, but like any ARF need a little TLC before their first flights.

I'm not knocking Nitroplane's airplanes at all. Just be aware of what you are buying and you'll do fine.

There is NO reason to stay away from the N.P. ARFs once you have some experience.

I picked up the NP BipE which could be handled by a beginner with a tiny amount of guidance. It's an easy to assemble electric.
