Sometimes I think a kit would be easier to do then an ARF buy the time I get the firewall, landing gear etc all rienforced.. Then open up the bottom for battery placement and make sure all the control rods are braced peoperly. Then get the stabs, wings and thrust all lined up... Bottom line though a ARF costs a lot less then a kit... Funny thing is at our field it seems more and more people don't/can't even do
the ARF thing... They are paying other people to assemble the ARF's for them... They just want to fly...
