RE: AVOID THESE ARF's AT ALL COST!!!!!!!!!!!!
NITRO PLANES !!!!!!!!!
Worst in quailty of hardware I have ever seen.
EXAMPLE:
Kangaroo: Fuel tank leaked from day 1.
Kangaroo: Clevis broke on 1st opening!
Kangaroo: Claimed retract ready, OK who's retracts? they did not have any to sell!
I adapted a set of spring airs "flushmount" see build thread in ARF section.
Kangaroo: 6mm wood dowels measure 5.0 mm or less, these were to align the wing thru the fin panel and into the Horizontal stab. I had to buy 1/4" hardwood dowel and sand it down to 6MM
Manuals have many errors in them.
EXAMPLE:
Cessna 337-25:
distance from firewall to engine prop drive plate wrong for front engine 6mm off
and really wrong for the rear engine 15.5 mm off
alll measurements made and check with chineeze made digital calipers.
Servo pockets:
Cessna 337 were 1mm small in length and width! Get out your knives!
I really doubt that NP has taken one of the production ARFs before being released and actually built it.
I would guess that they have a QC dept...
sign over door reads KWALLITY KUNTROL...
Door leads out of the back of the factory to the cess pool.
So If you buy one of thew "pretty planes" throw out the hardware and replace it with known quality materials.
