Stick has it right folks the producers of the ARF'S are the ones the should be accountable. You expect to get a plane that when you follow the build instructions it should be an air worthy plane without having to add glue, epoxy, change hardware, or anything but do it as per the manuel. If we keep letting the manufacters get away with inferior products the more and more inferior they will become. You should not have to inspect an ARF for anything but handeling damage that might occur. Other than that you should be able to build them and fly them with confidence. I have spent tons of money on ARF'S and not had to do anything to them. Never had one come apart. They should even start fuel proofing them. I do look at stuff as some things could get overlooked. But that should be one in every thousand or so. Let's not forget we are paying for ARF's not KITS. IF you have a problem with some area on your ARF that is not correct then you should quickly call the manufactuer or company you got it from and complain loudly, quickly, and let them know we as customers are not going to stand for inferior products. That is what quality control is supposed to be for. Again Stick i don't agree with alot of your posts about KITS over ARF'S but this time your right on the nose.
