OK. What you're comparing can't really be compared !! A Studebaker don't ride as good as a Cadillac. Duh !! Ya get what ya pay for on "most" Arfs when ya go to the "bargin basement". How else do you think World Models & the rest of the "discount manufacturers" can sell a ARF for a 100 to 150 bucks, when the same plane through H9 or Aeroworks costs 300- 400 bucks. Cheaper material !!!! Most of the time you can go through the "cheaper" units & reglue crossbrace, etc. & come out with a pretty decent plane, at half the price. I just can't see somebody buying a " bargin basement" item & then gripeing because it is inferior to a unit twice it's price.
