This is getting back to the age old battle of ARF's versus Kits.I will admit that there are alot of ARF's out there that aren't worth the money.I also think that there are a few that are of a better quality.Granted that I haven't been in this hobby as most of the people in this forum.But I do buy ARF's and build kits.I bought the Creek Katana.For $200,it's not a bad plane.Yes there are some things I would do different,and I did change some things on it.But it is what it is.A $200 aerobatic 1.20 size ARF.I am a firm believer in you get what you pay for.I'd be kidding myself if I expected it to perform like my friends 40% Carden Cap.Just my 2 cents.
