Default RE: "Almost Ready to Fly"

I've seen the Eagle 2 ARF and it was okay. You should be okay with it. Be sure to have a very experienced builder look it over before you fly it.

Most ARFs are assembly line built in other countries. I've seen them use hot glue, no glue, and other idiotic things. A lot of ARFs are cheaply built and some come apart in the air. Seen that too on a U Can Do. Some have the wings snap off. Some have the firewall crack from being too thin, not being fuel proofed, etc. Some use sticky shelf paper for covering. I'm not kidding.

You just about have to be a builder to spot the crappy work and know how to fix it.
