RE: Model Airplane Designer/Builder Wanted
I agree with all of you, but as a buyer looking for the quality and affordable products I have to stay in the 049flyer side.
ARF planes is almost the rule nowadays and with them big size parts like gas (or petrol) engines, high torque servos, high capacity batteries, even 1.60cin/50cc category planes... but the shipping cost is the downside, not to mention the size restrictions.
For many of us air shipping is the only one option and usually costs as much as the product. The box full of nicely cut parts and detailed plans is the way....
