CTDave-
It's funny you mention that. I've done that with several ARFs. As it turns out, by the time you strip them, reinforce them and get them up to par you could just about build a full kit and have a better airplane in the end too.

When I first got back into it I really was excited to see all the ARFs that are available. Then I bought several... Blah blah blah...

Merry Christmas guys!!
