Default Giant Scale Planes . Com ??

I second that on GSP's products.I have owned 3of their planes(arfs) & in a "roundabout way" without trying not to product bash these planes are not built very well ,the covering is cheeseball and like it was stated above wood quality & glue joints leave much to be desired.I had their 60 size giles & before I even finished it the pinstripes were all peeling off then on the 1st landing on a perfect scale landing I might add, the entire main gear block departed .Upon inspecting the area I found that they only tack glued the area ,then if it I wasnt leary enough as is on its 2nd flight the wing bolt retaining block came unglued.I had their 60 size P51 and the fiberglass fuse was very brittle & the covering and invasion bars on the wings started coming off right way.I could go on & on about them but I wont.Just be aware what your getting for a bargain price-we all know by now in this hobby that it normally doesnt spell much when its "a very cheap price"

like we all know you get exactly what you pay for and it only makes sense esp. after having several of the gsp line planes now to spend 40-60 more $ and get something that will last for years to come.I will never own another one personally & they arent very friendly folks on the phone either.I do think its very important to get reviews from fellow fliers before buying a new plane from a company you haven't bought from before.Had I done that I never would have owned the first one..Sorry if it sounds like I am bashing or rambling on.It's just my 2 cents on "consumer reports" of RC planes
