RE: CMP BF109F BUILDING THREAD
pladin
Lowes or home depot out here have it.
Too much work on an arf or a big head start???
I believe it depends on building school you are in or came from. I have built countless kits, scratch built, and fabricated my own composite models. This is why I see these budget priced arfs as bargains, currently the 109 is $260.00. Other models of the same size are around $450,550 and more.
Even if i changed all the hardware in a CMP model, I would still not have another $200.00 in it. Plus its suppose to be fun to build a little.
A lot of the scratch build guys I know can open an arf box and see the weak points in the first few minutes. If one lacks this type of building skill, don't blame the arf model. They are not perfect, they are mass produced.
anyway.
Get some of them up and see.
