No Sir! Respectfully speaking, you have no grounds to assume I had a lack of mentoring or knowledge of the subject matter. I have been building airplanes from kit form since i was in grade school. I had a 72 year old man who taught me (AKA Grandpa). Furthermore i have been involved with three RC clubs in my area since before i could fly. Granted that has only been over two years! Last, your addition of these OPINIONS has no bearing on the subject matter. The real issue here is this ARF is labeld "performance series". Perhaps you could tell me why this is so? I really think it is a marketing strategy.

I also have to wonder where your motivation came from to become involved in this thread. In your reply if you choose to we will further delaborate on this matter if you would like.
