Default RE: What would you like to see in a kit?

Okay, Some of these suggestions are good and valid, but what I had in mind for this thread was to give suggestions for kits. Not how to better kits. The idea for the hardware is a common one in kits and ARFs(especially the F90), but I don't think that it should be removed in most cases unless the kit manufactures wanted to sell it separately.

Rate1, I too think that would be a great kit, but it wouldn't be practical. CF on a .60 size plane wouldn't save that much weight. You would probably end up replacing it with aluminum to balance out the airfoiled tail feathers anyway. Also, the airfoiled tail feathers aren't worth building on a model this size.

Test005, That's a great idea, but the kits are generally cut in imperial measurements and wouldn't be as practical. On a side note, my GP Turmoil ARF had the carbon cut in metric and I had a time with it.[&:] Maybe, they should offer downloadable metric instructions for the kits.

Anymore suggestions?

Keep 'em coming,
