Every ARF I have bought has been very good quality. CAD designed, Laser cut, jig built and expertly covered. However I always go over the whole plane and fix up any area that looks a little suspect. Mainly the landing gear block and the firewall. I also do not use the supplied hardware (clevises,horns etc), exept on my Phoenix Extra 60-90 where the supplied gear was exellent. ARF's have come a very long way in a very short time and they drive the building snobs crazy, I love it
