Default RE: Hanger 9 corsair, JUNK .

C'mon fellas, its a cheap arf mass produced in China with hot melt glue. The reason we buy them is either we do not have the time or we are too lazy to build a kit (I am in that second part).

I'm hard on planes, I believe in pushing those sticks in the corners as hard and often as I can, but I think a little common sense goes a long way here. I'm no expert at this hobby, but I listen to the more experienced fellas at my club and go over every plane I purchase with a fine-tooth comb, then I ask them to do the same (a second pair of eyes always find things I miss). I do fine inadequacies in every one of them (some were built by supposedly very good kit builders, they just took some shortcuts that I did not like) and I change them to my liking.

I do believe in building planes to fly, not crash (which means light), but most arfs do not posess an adequate support structure for that lightness, thus we modify them.

Just my 2 bits...
