Well my experience with hardware in arfs is not good. All the stuff they give you is junk. My Lanier Edge hardware looks meant for a 40 sized plane and not a 120 sized. I was missing half of the stuff for the tail wheel etc. Your better off to buy what you trust.

I would say the majority of the people that buy arfs get hacked off when the kit doesn't come with hardware. Thats why they buy the arf to begin with because it is supposed to be all complete. So if the manufacture can't give us decent stuff than why do they bother. The price that some of these arfs are there is no excuse for the manufacture not to include good quality hardware.

So my theary is for 350.00 bucks the kit should include at that price a name brand hardware kit and not Jap stuff. If they leave the hardware out the kit should cost 300.00 bucks.
