Most of the product sold by Nitro Planes is CMP China Model Products.
The Product line seems to range from some pretty good airplanes to a few that are only just adaquate.
In my opinion If you are capable of assembling an ARF without a manual and making your own decisions on CG and throws as well as how to do functional linkages then great. But if not then it may be better to choose something else.
I have flown most of the various warbird CMP's and assembled a number of them. I have not flown any of the various trainer or sport type CMP's so cannot comment on them.
