OK now this is sad indeed............worse yet is when us builders show up at the field with a complicated model built from a kit, in this instance a Proctor Nieuport N11, and a guy asks why "they" (guess he meant arf mfg.'er) put stupid little bellcranks in the upper wing instead of using a servo on each aileron.
does this mean that everyone at my field builds only ARF's?.........seems so though......i see WW2 flyers who built ARF's or quick built gas jobs that act like they are builders.....as it is i won't touch another ARF these days. not because they are made overseas, but because they never have that look i am accustomed to.................even worse yet is one of my buddies has guys coming over to pay him to put their "ARF kit
" together.
no issue with ARF'ers, but the ARF industry has mucked it up for us builders of "kits"..........
