The guys at Flair do sell the same planes that GSP sells but Flair flight tests all their ARFs that they sell and makes changes to them where they need it. I have had dealings with the guys over there and they are a great crew. I’m waiting on their Stearman now. On a side note while I was at the WRAM show a couple of weekends ago GSP was there and had alllll those planes on display. At a quick glance they look nice but after you get past the covering there is a noticeable difference compared to quality ARFs. First off these planes don’t even have a brand on them they are just what I call them "generic" and are sub par kits. Like so many ARFs out there now there is just a flood of terrible kits and arfs out there and these ones are no different. While sneaking a peak at the innards I saw that the wood was all splintering and there was hardly any glue at some of the strong points. That’s about as far as I got before I was yelled at by one of the GSP guys because I had lifted the plane out of the box like so many were doing and just taking a quick peak inside them. These planes were also over priced. Your money could be better spent else were on a plane that you will be happy with.

But that’s just my two cents !
