I have also built a lot of BVM kits, and a lot of others. Comparing the product by price alone is not a fair comparison. The kits are all well engineered, leaving very little to the builders imagination. If you follow the instructions, and plans you are guaranteed a model that will fly well, and will stay together in the air. If you should damage a part (crunch the nose, etc...) you can buy the section you need. If you should need a new wing panel the new panel will fit exactly like the old one did (ask me how I know this!) If problems arise with the airframe design, then BVM is quick to post airframe directives on their website. Also manufacturer support is there at almost every major jet rally in the country. If the big trailer is there chances are that if you broke a landing gear strut you can get a replacement and continue flying through the weekend. I'm not a BVM rep but have been a satisfied customer for years.
