Default New ARF's

Hey guys,

I have several new ARF's, you can't build them at these low prices. I like building and I am pretty tough on planes when they are in the air. I have a H9 Cap 232 and I have twisted, tumbled, blendered it and it has done a great job. I understand that there are some failure's out there and my heart goes out to those folks. I think sometimes we (hobbists) are too quick to blame the manufacture and not our poor building skills, and bad flying habbits. I am guilty as well, I dumb thumbed a plane and blamed it on the radio failing, just because of my own pride. All ARF's require some building knowledge, and a understanding of what stresses a plane undergoes during flight. If you are not an accomplished builder/flyer than I don't think ARF's are for you. All modelers must climb the ladder in their hobby life, just as we did. Some shortcuts will bite you later. Just my 2 cents worth.
