I really like the finish and detail on the SM Arf's - but the engineering, quality of glass work, resin/materials used is FAR superior on Comp-Arf. After seeing the rapid wear and tear and some failures on the SMARF's I am steering well away from them.

I wish Comp-Arf had come out with a model with slightly more scale details - the scoops and scale flap covers would add a lot. I know I can add them myself but I wanted an ARF... my building time and skills leave much to be desired. I cannot justify/afford a Skygate etc kit even if I had the skill and time to build. Something a little more scale (along the lines of Jet Legend) would be great.

I am adding a lot of stuff to my Comp-Arf Hawk this winter. I got the Der Jet cockpit and I'll putting on some of the antennas, strakes etc... The tail pipe fell apart on me (I never would have imagined it but just being heavy doesn't mean well assembled!) I got a TamJet pipe that's 12 oz less! Now a lot of the lead in the nose can come out too.

I love my Comp-Arf Hawk. I wonder if anyone will ever come out with some scale accessory parts like the scoops, flap covers, more scale strakes, etc...?</span></p>
