Default RE: Nitroplanes.com?

I have also ordered from them a few times....good service, no complaints. Just a thought about those RTF planes...NO MATTER WHO IS SELLING THEM... they are all manufactured by the same few factories in China. Most of the air frames (foam) look nice and fly well. HOWEVER, the servos are usually of very poor quality, fan units may be severly out of balance. Look for poor solder joints, ESC's are sometimes over rated for the load....etc, etc. If you can, I would suggest buying the "bare bones" versions and adding your own electrics. (HiTec servos, E-Flite or Jetti ESC's, or the ones from Great Planes. Also, consider using quality LiPo's such as MaxAmps, Xcite to name just a few.....You will be MUCH happier in the long run. Just my 2 cents!
