Those of us that choose to fly ARF's (I am excluding Stickbuilder here because ARF's are the devils work
) should photograph poor workmanship or fixes you came up with and email the information to the distributor so they can fix the problems and improve future product. They obviously need some LOUD feedback on this. Photo's could be from bad workmanship right out of the box or failures occurring during "destructive testing". It also wouldn't hurt to share it with your fellow pilots in a "Fixing the XYZ Arf" thread on RCU.
CC,
Nowhere in my post did I put down the guys who choose to fly ARF's. I simply stated that I was glad to see some of them expressing an interest in building. Be very careful of what you post in the ARF forum, concerning a poor version of an ARF. Most of the guys who post there consider the ARF distributors to be sacred cows, and will not tolerate anything said of them that could be construed as negative. Seems as if they all expect to have to reglue everything.
