I've compared some of the Aeroworks ARF's to Pilot-RC and I really cannot see what the hype over AW is.
The Pilot-RC is better made for less money. From the covering to the laser cut ply, they're better in every repect.

Quality is subjective and can be influenced by things such as brand name and price.
This is where we start the Ford vrs Holden battle........................... But with AW vrs Pilot we are talking Ferrari V Holden

Here's a useless fact did you know that a Ferrari at 30 000 kl service requires brakes and clutch / gearbox work around about the $25 000-$30 000 mark

Hey when all said and done it's what you like and what you fly, personal experience and what you spend your money on DA vrs DLE RC Pilot vrs AW
Cheap Chinesse vrs Hanger 9

The market is consumer driven and allways will be, I don't know about you guys but take into consideration the materials + labour there is no way I can produce a medium size ARF for $200-$300 dollars
Do your home work share your trials and errors, thats what makes this hobby great



HOldens are cheaply made but have you actually looked under th skin of a Ferrari. You;ll be amazed how low tech it is! Strip away the beautiful covering and underneath typically is a steel space frame thats not that nicely welded. The 348 used a aluminim panels welded to a steel space frame (Yes welded and that bit is rather hi-tech)

There more tehcnology in the assembly of a Holden. Problem is neither are reliable in any way. One is just more expensive and prettier than the other.
Sex sells and AW uses that don't they
