Default ARFs building quality

Most of my Hangar consist of the higher quality of ARF. Be that as it may. I treat them all the same.

1. I always glass up the firewall.
2. Rebuild the Retract mounts
3. Use a fair amount of CA here and there.
4. If i really like the plane but the covering is poor, I'll recover.

Take the Advance.40. I put over 300 flights on this plane in the last 2 years. I use it as a warm up plane and when the weather is not very good or with my kid and do not want to risk my better fleet. Well I stripped it and rebuilt and solid enough for another couple years.

Some of these smaller Arfs are great flyers, just poorly built. Spectrum,Champion, Aresti. Great flying planes but questionable on the inside. This new Pizazz seems to be neat. Friend has one. Real nice.
