The Chinese are slowly ruining this hobby by taking any of the skill required out of it other than flying. It used to be if you want something not a P-51, P-47 or Spitty, you built it.
Ha, well.. lets just just hold on a second.
If it wasn't for the market (US being the biggest) for ARF warbirds, 99% nothing more than sports planes dressed as war birds, the Chinese wouldn't be building 'em!
Fact is and the evidence
very clear right here in this very forum that most of you guys want them that way.
Don't get me wrong, I agree with you and continually get in to problems with my comments towards those people here that spend a small fortune
pimping a cheap ARF warbird with custom made scale mufflers, props, you name it. I mean... why struggle to put a scale prop on an unscale model[sm=bananahead.gif]something so strange in my book that I'll throw in another banana head [sm=bananahead.gif] just for good measure.
I believe they'ld be better off putting all that (very possitive, don't get me wrong) energy, time and money and building a
real scale model.
Boy, do I get flamed.
