Just a fe comments. Most of the glow powered ARFS fly very well. In some case the wood is not even balsa and some parts of the plane like the rudder can be warped right out of the box. Some man. are worse than others. H9, Great Planes, World Models, and Seagull make very good ARFs for the price. They have better hardware and the covering is better quality. The hardware included in some of the ARF kits is the weak link(no pun intended). A lot of flyers who buy ARFS know this and simply toss all or most of the hardware away. The wheels that are included are usually on the small side, especially if you are flying off a grass field so you end up replacing thoise as well. The covering on the plane can also be an issue. There is everything from sticky back shelf paper covering to high quality Ultra Coat, depends on the kit. Read carefully before you buy so you know what you are getting. In general the quality is going up and the ARF can be a a very good value.
