My Dad and I have a couple of arfs that we have put together and flown. However, one of the reasons that we have stayed into the building process is we took an arf to the field, and on a landing (a beautiful landing straight down the runway) the aircraft touched down and the landing gears fell out of the plane. It turns out that there was hardly any glue on the joint were the landing gear bolt plate was. So we came home, used epoxy and triangle stock to glue it back in. We flew it some more, and it hasn't happened since. So we are building more kits than anything else. Greg
