It has been my experiance that a POS is in the eye of the beholder.It all depends on what you expect from a ARF.Some guys what a 100.00 120 size ARF to come with top grade hard ware directions a blind man could figure out and fly hands off the first time it is in the air.But guess what it is not going to happen,know this on any plane or helo etc etc you buy as an ARF,you are going to have to put some work into it to make it right and move on.I have flown Flite Craft and Lanier plastic bricks and put the biggest engine I could stuff in it and the cheepest radio gear that could do the job and fly the crap out of it and when it plows in salvage what you can and s-t can the rest.
