thats a valid re:- quality versus price, but I recently bought $600 Edge ARF 1.20 size and I took it str8 back when I opened the box. the cvovering was not only wrinkly and bubbly, but actually coming of all over. the wings were floppy, and the elevators were missing completely. the canopy was crazed and hazy, and the cowl didnt even fit, was 1/2 inch too small across. That was the last straw as far as ARF's are concerned. NEVER EVER again. I am still having a dispute with the retailer, he says its not his fault, which is true enough, but he sells dodgy kits he gotta expect them to return. and he should take it up with the manufacturer. I wont mention who the kit was from, but sadly its a highly recommended brand oin here
