Guys & Gals.
First off...I don't mean to put the ARF's down. In fact, all I have ever owned (From my trainer to my 1/4 scale H9 CAP) have been ARF's.

So I want to share my observations with you and get your opinions.

Almost every ARF is marketed as being 90% ready and taking 15-20 hours to get ready.

In my case, I have seen that to assemble and set-up some of the ARF's (Like my AW 60/90 Edge) it took much longer.

Going by the 90% ready and 15-20 hours to assembly rule, simple math will deduce that it takes 150 to 200 hours to build a kit.

Does it take really 200 hours to build a kit and are the ARF's really 90% ready ???
