RE: ARF's and building...
Miloh: Was the problem with your ARF an elevator control rod with a 90 degree bend that came off your servo horn? I thought I just read about that. Anyway, I have those right now and want to upgrade them to a better connector.
I see YOUR point but someone would have to call the psycho ward and have them come and get me if I crashed a plane that I spent all winter building. I think I'd just hang it from my ceiling somewhere if I built a 6 month plane...lol.
Obviously I'm not very confident in my flying either. So I'll personally stick to ARFs and learn how to build them to be reliable (upgrade hardware, add balsa and glue etc).
