I agree about bashing another ARF. I don't think I would do another one unless I found one assembled and it was on the curb marked free.. The only advantage to bashing an ARF is that you get a jig built airframe that is light and straight. The project I am just starting is a 1/5th scale Boeing P12 C/D. The working plans are finished and I have atarted the molds for the corrigated metal componets...I am thinking over a year to complete. I have an original TF SE5a that I picked up for 10 US dollars on a fluke. It came with machine guns and pilot so was a great deal. After seeing how nice yours turnind out I have decided it deserves to be built someday. I have looked through it and it is a nice kit for shure.
