Nitroplanes, Giant Scale Planes... what ever they call themselves. I have nothing good to say about them so I'll stop at that.

China is lacking major Quality Control at the factories. I've spent thousands buying ARF's that I had to butcher just to make it look and fly good, and some I just busted them under my feet and took the loss.

I built one Great Planes Gee Bee and that was a nighmare... kind of afraid of Great Planes now, even though it was just a bad kit. I lost quite a bit of money on that project.

Horizon seems to be good going up the channels when there is a problem. My Hanger 9 Fokker DVII the Cowel just didn't fit. I returned it 2 times and they kept replacing it until it finally fit, and it didn't cost me a dime. [sm=thumbs_up.gif] to Horizon and Hanger 9.

Because of lack of good quality of some of these ARF's, I've decided to start building full kits. I took classes at my LHS on how to cover and I am ready. I want to be the master of my quality if China won't do it.

Plus I really don't like giving my money to a country that doesn't like Americans that much, I do have that in the back of my mind. What to do? Hardly any American, German and British ARF's out there that can compete with the prices. It's sad... really sad. JMHO and JMHPE
