I totally agree. Not bashing Nitroplanes or anything - as there 50cc planes are half the cost of the "higer end" guys, but when you get a plane that you can't even put together without some serious fixing and modifications.

The Yak that I just received had the motor box all screwed up - with little or no glue on the motor box and many other areas had almost no glue.

I'm still waiting for an answer to the wrong plane being shipped. I've been building and flying planes for quite some time and I knew it was a gamble with such a low price. I just feel sorry for the guys that are new to this hobby and purchase products from NitroPlanes and get burned by poor products, missing parts, etc.

I know that if I did put this 50CC Yak together as it came out of the box, I would have been lucky to get a couple of flights out of it. More then likely the motor box would have failed, the landing plate/gear would have failed. The landing gear on this Yak is the two piece variety that has such a small mounting area that there is really very little support for the landing gear.

Truly you do get what you pay for. It is a rare find when you get a quality product at a great price.

My last purchase was a QQ Aircraft 100cc Python (on sale for $999) and before that a Aeroworks 50CC Pythong ($659). Do you know why they cost that much? Because they sell quality products.

So as long as you understand that what you are going to get from NitroPlanes is a substandard model then go for it. That is what I did and other then the plane being damaged when I got it and Nitromodels sending the wrong plane - the quality is what I expected - substandard.
