Default RE: Why not more ABS / plastic models?


ORIGINAL: arcusflyer

Thanks for all the opinions all. very intersting reading. In summary I actually suspect that modern ABS construction has not had mass exposure in the modern artf arena. I personally can find no disadvantages and plenty of advantages to this material. Maybe it just needs one of the bigger manufacturers to push this a bit harder (I realise ttr are selling these designs but not really pushing this material I feel).
I have a few NEW ABS ARFs.

While I like how they look repairs can be a big PITA.

I prefer ply and balsa, as this affords repairs that look better than new and are stronger too when properly done.
