I'm curious about this company & the quality of their ARFs. Has anyone done business with them? If so I would be very interested to know how your experience dealing with them went & how well built you feel your model was. I'm asking this because I have been looking at their website & seeing that they have a nice selection of .46 & .60 size Warbirds at very affordable prices. Just wondering if it isn't the old "too good to be true" syndrome. Knowing that we usually get what we pay for in this life, leaves me just a little leary of these prices.

I also see their stuff here in the marketplace as well as on ebay. So whatever you know about this company & the quality of their models, be it good or bad, I would reall appreciate hearing from you. Thanks in advance for any info you might have.

Elanastgrumpy,
You might shoot a PM at Minnflyer. I think he is doing a review on one of their planes, so he might be able to give you some info.

Can't speak for their war birds,but if you want a good flying trainer for a very reasonable price that's the way to go.The guys at our air field are always telling me about how well that plane flies and how light it is.Of course you have to modify a lot of the hardware. Like I said can't comment on the war birds or other styles,but might be a little concerned about the detail(scale) on WWII models.

My experience with them has been good.

I have 4 of their planes, and all built well and fly well.

Ultimate Bipe - Smaller electric
E-3D-EP Small aerobatic Electric
Yak 54 45 inch wingspan Electric
Edge 540 - 40 size converted to Electric.

The planes come well packaged, and go together as easily as some in the $300 range that I've built.
Their manuals leave someting to be desiired in some cases, but if you are somewhat familiar with ARF's, you can figure it out.
As with all arfs, the covering has to be touched up after storage and travel.
I have beefed up all the planes landing gear. They are not strong enough to fly off grass as I do, and its a good added precaution.
I also check all joints, and run CA over any that I feel are suspicious. I have had to do this on some ARF's in the 300 dollar range as well.

I have gotten a lot of flying for a lot less money from their planes. All in all a good deal.

I've bought some of their accessories as well. The Smart Balancing Charger is one of the best investments in charging that I have made.

you could post this question in the warbirds forum there is a bunch of people who build,mod,fly, love,and hate these planes.
from what I have read there's a couple of good ones and there's a few dogs,and the hardware is not the greatest but for the price there not too bad at all.
I am on warbird restriction because I have 1 build to finish and 3 kits to build waiting for my attention or I might pick one up myself LOL.
