RE: common arf mistakes?
One day I was flying with two friends. One had a well used U-Can-Do 60 with a OS 91 Surpass II engine. He was flying too close to the ground and crashed it. Tore the nose up. He stripped the plane and gave it to the other friend. This other friend rebuilt the U-Can-Do and used a OS 120AX on it. He flew it for 2 years with well over 100 flights and then sold it to another guy in town.
The plane originally came from one of Tower's scratch and dent sales where the wing ribs were crushed.
So this ARF has had a long unlikely life.
