Well while you guys battle it out, here's my take on the P40. My first one was junk.......
didn't hold up to a oh, 75 mph nose first landing at all.
Number two is still a question mark as I haven't had time to try the same type of landing. But take offs and flight seem just fine.
And ARF is in the eye of the beholder, or the Mfg. I've had $100.00 ARF's that have put my $700.00 to $800.00 dollar versions, construction/ quality wise to shame.
And just to keep Stick going, just cause it's a home built doesn't mean it's going to be better, the same or even worse then a store bought.
Each has their place in the hobby. And we would be so much further ahead if we could learn to except our differences, and promote what we are all here for.
WOW, this is almost like the AMA threads.
