Default Building My First Giant Scale, Which Manufacturer?

I am new to giant scale and I am looking to build my first model. My goal is to do a quality build. In looking at manufacturers Aeroworks and Composite ARF seem to stand out. Any recommendations on who would offer the best quality and support? I welcome any ideas/information. Thanks guys

Are you building or assembling an ARF?

If you are building than go with Dalton or Carden if the budget allows.

For ARFS......lots of choices

PAU
Aeroworks
EF
Comp Arf
Pilot
Wildhare

Those tend to be your top arf makers.
