Default RE: How much work is too much on an ARF?

Not everyone wants to put that much work and money in upgrade parts to still end up with what's considered an off brand or cheap arf,, some like you do and that's great.

There also is an element of snobbery that keeps some from trying some brands, some guys just have to have the top brand name stuff whether it's a ARF plane or a smart phone.

Years ago before I had much money, I'd pull planes from the trash guys wouldn't bother with and rebuild them. That and scratch building were ways that made the hobby affordable to me.. You do what you gotta do.

I must say, I've put a few of those bottom brand planes together,, Not worth the minimal cost savings for me any more
