RE: 101" C-130 arf
C130 nut- no problem. I hope other builders agree with me or alternatively have not had the same problem, but I doubt it. In fact the problems with the nose retract door setup have been noted by others on this forum.
I dont regret buying the ASM C130, but the quality of the ARF is not up to the same standard as a Hanger 9 or Great Planes ARF. I've built many models from Kit and from scratch, and I know how long that takes. Its just annoying to spend out for an ARF, onl to then spend a lot of time dealing with faults, returns, etc.
All the best.
