Man! Flat-spin-lover, I hope you have better days! You also got the misfortune of getting a lemon. All arf's use hot glue and are cr@p (is cr@p profanity?)but some are much worse than others. Mine was built better than yours, must have been raining at the factory (hut) that day. I respect your opinion, they should have bought it back from you. I stalled mine from about 18" on landing and the gear was fine. Guess I got lucky, did I mention arf's are crap? What pi$$es me off is with the skyrocketing popularity of arf's, I've already seen the availability of kits shrink.
