I think the the ironer/coverers probaly have the best jobs,the guys laying glue and blocking Balsa all day must be having tougher days.Out of all the planes I've had,made from different countries, my CMPRo Giles had the absolute best covering job and meticilous seam work done ever.The covering was China kote,but it held for a long time and was extremely well done all around.There is definately some talent in those factories,sometimes I wish I could say a thanks and tip directly to some of the staff.
I grew up as a kit builder,and I really appreciate some of the ARF's available.I know many ***** about some issues,but they usually are of small numbers and are easily fixed.ARF's have gotten much better in the last 10 years,and in most cases they are much beter than many builders can accomlish at a fraction of the cost.
Its a great decade to be aquiring some very nice aircraft at good prices and quality.Thumbs up to the hard working people overseas. [8D]
