Maybe the title of this thread should of read: MY H9 P-40 is junk.
Truth is that EVERY ARF has the potential of being really pretty junk. It's just probable that the better brands have less probability.
H9 usually produces good flying, nice looking, decently manufactured models. They're one of the "good probability" suppliers. Their 60 size warbird line is one of the best. But look at the Corsair's reputation and you see that the supplied retracts have a shaky reputation, the wing has folded for a number of people and there've been a few other incidents. And then they came out with that Raptor thing. Heavy, marginal power, VERY marginal prop, CG over main gear (amazing), very short gear, nose design flawed, marginal flight performance, and BILLED AS A TRAINER.
Yeah, H9 needs to step back and get their Quality Control back under control. And include their design staff in it.
But truth is, they got to be leaders in the ARF industry by providing mostly good stuff.
