OK, I'll be the first to say it, I have never come close to the assembly times I've read some reviewers post. For instance in the Jan issue of FLY R/C the author says he put together the Hanger 9 Extra 260 ARF ( this is a 27% aerobatic plane) in 16 hours!. Chripes! it takes me 2hrs just to put in the CA hinges in and then another hour to scrap CA off my fingers! How realistic is sixteen hours for assembly time? I'd rather like to think that I'm meticulous, rather than dumb & slow. WHO AGREES WITH ME HERE? Mikel-T
