Kit vs ARF
I have owned equal numbers of kits and ARFs. I for one enjoy building. The ARFs that I have had, all had problems of one nature or the other. True some of the kits I have built have had deficiencies too. For me the difference is in the peace of mind that I get knowing exactly what has gone into the plane. When I am finished building, I have exact knowledge of the planes construction. This is handy info when Murphy's law or gravity takes over. I just feel like you take a chance everytime you buy an ARF. Maybe it will be quality and maybe not. I dont think it is enough to assume that just because someone here on this forum got a great plane(not GREAT PLANES) from a particular manufacturer, then you will too. If you build it, then quality of build is less of an issue. Having said that... does anyone have a 60 size WM P40 ARF they would part with for cheap?
