Please make them stop manufacturing large scale foam ARF's! [:@]
What is the deal with all these new FOAM model airplanes? Even with the so called uber super duper EPO foam it still looks crappy on the surface. Modelers not too long ago would have been embarrassed to show up at the field with such a lousy surface finish. Overly thick trailing edges. Bumps and snowflakes covering the entire surface. Yuck! [:'(]
Yes please STOP!
I guess the Chinese ARF manufacturer's all pulled out of the business, leaving behind foam factories that needed another revenue stream.
After all the same people who make foamy fuselages and wings ALSO manufacture the packing materials used to ship them, and packing foam for electronics, etc.
Open a Parkzone box and you'll see that the foam came from the same place for both the plane and packing stuff... often it can be exactly the same materials too, just treated or finished differently.
