RE: ARF or Kit?
I'm all ARF, I don't have the time or all the workshop equipment, nor do I have the space. Plus ARF's fit my budget a Little more. The only thing bad about ARF's is you get what you pay for. Nitroplanes is a good example... and comparing that to a Great Planes or Hanger 9, or Graupner? BIG QUALITY DIFFERENCE. I won't be surprised to see more ARF's in the future that are more to scale than some of these kits that are out there. Meaning, some of the companies that make ARF's are slowly improving not only quality, but scale details as well. TMP, JMO.
