What are the prices like between CMP and H9? I think we all complain too much. If its cheap then you can expect money to be saved on hardware. Heck, the Fliton Extra is not that cheap at all but they use lousy clevises. All planes have their own problems. I love H9 and GP stuff but its not cheap in Malaysia, CMP is cheaper. But to have to change a few items of hardware is not all that hard.

We are not talking about planes where you need to reinforce/modify to fit everything or where the covering comes off after 4 flights. If we want good stuff then we have to pay for it.

From what I have seen or heard the P47s (big and small) are nice, the C160 flies well, the big Zero is really nice, the new Lancair is really a stunning looking plane and is well manufactured and priced, my Quest did not need any mods other than to use normal hinges and to use better linkages/clevises (my own preferrence), the Swallow is well manufactured, Edge 540 flies well and is properly manufactured, Texan is really well manufactured, Giles flies very well with no build complains ... so is CMP really bad?
