I'd like to see all ARF and kit manufacturers just forget about the hardware.

I end up replacing it all anyway.

I don't like paying the price for a kit and then throwing all the hardware in the trash. Drop the price $20 and let me buy my own.

Lanier does it this way. Some of the ARF distributors do it like this. Never stopped me from buying one of those kits. I actually LOOK for them without hardware.

Or start putting good, high quality hardware in the kits. If your not going to do it right--then just forget about it.

Kit and ARF Manufacturers:

Your current idea of GOOD and HIGH QUALITY is my idea of total cr@p. Just forget the hardware--you obviously have no clue what kind or type of hardware a real modeler will put into a plane.
