[8D]I just finished assembling two ARFs from Texas RC Models, the Advanced Low wing trainer and the Explorer L, and am very impressed with the quality, price of the two. They are both available from other sites, Nitro Models (although they are out of stock at least on the trainer), AK Models, and others, but Texas Models were cheaper and shipped promptly with lower shipping charges. This is the first order I have placed with them and I have absolutely no connection to them in any way but as a customer. I think we are quick to criticize poor quality and preformance as we should be, but I would like to recognize preformance that exceeded my expectations.

These ARFs are not perfect and should be gone over to check for possible problems, but they are as good both in design and quality as the several models I have built from World Models and better than the last two I have built from Great Planes. At less than $65 they are cheaper than kits for similar sized planes not to mention the glue, covering, etc., that kits would require extra that are included with the ARF.

I'm sure that some ARF, China haters will be all over me for this post, but sometimes you get more than you pay for.
