You got it right!! Sooo many people get an ARF & slap it together & think good enough. With a little extra work you can take a $100. ARF & make it a very good plane. I've had the "Nitro Planes" craft & the GP or other "name brand ARFs. Basically, the main difference between them are the "glue joints". They are pretty much all light weight. If they don't want to spend the extra time on them, they shouldn't gripe about the outcome !! After all, they call them ARFs" for a reason !!!! ALMOST READY TO FLY my 2 cents
