oh, I did not realize this was a bash the ARF thread. I/we have built ARF's though by the time we are done we have redesigned all the major components. I have in the rafters arf's for a dewotine, and a p-36. those are planes I would never ever build (and still may not, but the potential is there) my present ARF is a Macchi 200, another plane I would have never built. I can do it quick and cheaply, so it fits very well into the build plan. though with the tail wheel redesign, and the usual LG mount removal and redesign it still will save time.
saves time for the Holman me190 f I seam to be working on for ever. its at rivits and panel lines, then the engine was ripped out and I need to replace it with electric.
