Default RE: eBay Knockoff ARF's?

I purchased 3 of his airplanes, all in the same week, the Velox 56, 4-Star 60 copy &
the Something Extra copy. The Velox wing tube required a lot of work to make fit
and engine mount pedistal had to be reinforced, had some fit issued with the landing
gear. Control rod runs too tight, had to replace.

The 60 sized 4-star & Something Extra copies went together so-so, had to replace
the control rod runs to the rudder & elevator on both as they were kinked at the exit
point in the rear of fuselage. They have not been flown as of this writing, waiting for
our field to dry out and better weather. They are what you pay for........nuff said.
Save you money and buy a brand name, or better yet build what you want, that
way you know what you have.
