I know at lot of folks don't like the "instructions" that come with the CMP ARFs. I can't say I blame them. It does look a bit skimpy compared to the typical step-by-step photo+text booklets that come with most kits and ARFs.

May be I'm just used to looking at engineering drawings, but I actually prefer the CMP line drawings. It is very concise and includes just about all the information an experienced ARF/kit builder needs to put together an ARF. Afterall, do I really need a whole paragraph of text and a couple of black and white photos to tell me how to epoxy wing attachment dowels? Best of all (and I think this is a big reason why the manufacturer does them this way), it is language independent.

I do think the conventional booklet style instructions would be very helpful for the more entry level ARFs, and it certainly wouldn't hurt to have them for the more experienced level ARFs either. I hope, though, that you won't do aways with the line drawings for those of us who prefer it.
