Default Kit or ARF

I've had two ARFs, a Raptor and a Nexus. I tore them both down and rebuilt them ... missing threadlock etc.... both had similar building flaws, in fact I'm sure both would have thrown a paddle had I not checked.... an ounce of prevention.

Geez, I knew ARF planes were not all they were cracked up to be, but I never thought they could screw up a heli. Figures.

It is worth going through them and checking them out. The Raptor 30 ARF I got for a freind looked great, but I didn't go through every bolt. maybe I should tell him to do that.
