Re: Great Planes products SUCK!! I Never Buy Finished Products From Any Company, I Think Is Better To Buy A Kit And Make My Way Reinforcing And Changing The Things As The Past Showed Me To Do. Do Your Way Is Better Than Trust Any Company And If For Any Reason You Will Wanna Buy Any Arf Kit, Check It All For The Quality And Reinforce Or Change The Model Because People That Is Watching Have No Idea If Your Model Will Fall For Quality Problems. |

Re: Great Planes products SUCK!! I find it hard to blame any company for selling what they sell ,after all it's my job as a consumer to research what I am buying however I find it impossible to excuse companys that wont support their products .saying that I have a coupple of great planes aircrafts and the only problem I have ever had is when I found out my 1/3 cap was prone to the the wing tube folding ,I had been out of the hobby for 2 years when I found this out and the plane was 4 years old at this point and with no proof of purchase great planes sent me a new wing tube N/C.can't beat that for service.Roger |

Re: Great Planes products SUCK!! THE best arf planes I have ever built/flown are from, http://www.3dhobbyshop.com/ and http://www.extremeflightrc.com/ Only downfall, the variety of aircraft is limited. Other than that, you won't find a better arf. |

Re: Great Planes products SUCK!! Top Flite makes the Piper Arrow (real)kit. Kinda-sorta-similar to the Cherokee but bigger. Have you checked that out? Building season isnt too far off. |

Re: Great Planes products SUCK!! I've had a Great Planes 40 Cherokee for 6 years and it was the sweetest thing to fly. Just like a pattern ship. Wen't where you pointed it. It was the old style "real" kit. It unfortunately met with a landing light on a real airstrip at a recent fun fly so am replacing it (somewhat reluctantly) with their arf. I'm looking for anyone with experience in assembling and flying this bird. |

Re: Great Planes products SUCK!! I dont think an ARF that needs a safety recall has survived long enough. Ive got the GP P-40 combat 25 size and it seems to be holding up ok. When assembling it, I thought it would make a neat little kit. Thereby giving you the peace of mind that you alone built it and were responsible for the build quality. Had a ten year old Plymouth mini van recalled for a faulty rear window wiper motor. ten years old! and they replaced it free. No charge. Made me feel like-a-somebody |
