I suggest you post this sale in the Classic Forum. Practically all who fly 2 meter Pattern assemble arfies. The book was not geared towards arfie assembly as I recall, and more in line with guys that build the classics.
And build they do....there are at least as many classic participants as there are in regular pattern. Also, Don at Rcair is offering nearly all the classic kits in both glass or balsa stick kits. His prices are favorable.
