After reading many posts (both good and bad) , I just purchased a CMP Zero 50 from AK. I know that some people think that the H9 are the best flying planes out there, but then again, maybe not. I'm looking forawrd to this plane and detailing it out. For the price, you really can't go wrong. I think that if you use common sense in researching the various threads, yuo can build a good flying plane. I'll hold my judgement for CMP until after I have finished my first flight.
