I 've had mine for several months , I am not a proponent
of ARF's but the Ryan was too much to resist.

I have posted several threads about this ARF . Some good,
many not so good. The basics are all there but I either had to,
or elected to,revise a few things.

1 The tank is way to high for a non pump application. Why they
did this I'll never know.Not everyone may have a pump engine
( don't)

2. The wells for the "wing joiners"arn't sealed too well. when
you go to put the wing together all the epoxy that you pour in
may just run into the wing and not stay where it's supposed to.
(this is also the case in my 1/3 Pitts, I wonder how many people
have much less epoxy in the center section than they realize)

3 The hard points in the ailerons were not close enough to
the LE to allow the supplied horns to work

4 The mounting of the tail wheel is poorly done but can
be overcome with a little effort

5 replace the spinner. some complain about the wheels but
I haven't and I don't have any problems there.

there were several other things that I wasn't happy with
but these changes were my doing ,not fault with the plane.


All and all it's darn good flying craft and at this point , seems
to have been worth the effort.

Arf's have come a long way.........but still have a distance
to go.

On to my Stinson SR-9(nice kit)
