Got my big box O fun today No damage that I could see and the wing saddle area fits really nice. Thing is pretty big too

As to what to expect from an ARF, well it really is only Almost ready to fly and I suppose we get what we pay for. At the price I paid, I'd say I am a very happy camper if all I have to do is re-glue some joints, check some things and install my gear. I specifically bought an ARF because time is by far more valuable to me than the kit cost. To build this from a pure kit would take ALOT longer than the amount of "fixing" you all speak of, so for me, I am very happy and way ahead of the $$$/time curve.

However, it sure would be nice if even more were already ready - but I suppose that we would have to expect a corresponding increase in $$$. It truly sucks for those who recieved damaged goods - that is just wrong.

Now to find time to work on it....(see what I mean about time)
