RE: Difficult Arfs!
ORIGINAL: jeff naul Barry come on dude.. Have you guy's ever noticed The guy that lazer cut's for him was an idiot, the guys that didn't build his cowl molds were idiots. the guys selling canopy rails were robbing us blind so you open a rail business. then you put a post threatening to close because we weren't buying enough rails and there wasn't enough money in it. Then the guys in Florida are building bigger p-47's than your Corsair so it goes up for sale and you announce plans for a bigger Corsair. Not enough attention, now this... |

RE: Difficult Arfs!
ORIGINAL: NCIS You must just not be a builder. It's OK the ARFS are out there for you to buy. Plus you must not have anything better to do than read my threads so you can ***** about them later.:eek: Barry |

Restraint. Restraint would have prevented this maelstrom of binary cacophony.

RE: Difficult Arfs!
I have to agree with "YARD-DART". If it wasn't for ARFs I would probably not be in the sport/hobby. Which I do have great respect for those who have time and the skills to BUILD. I have mostly ARFs but do also have a few scratch built planes I have bought from other pilots.

RE: Difficult Arfs!
Ya know, I have to tip my hat to ya on that one.
Some people just don't get it. If you go back to my older post you'll read that IMHO that ARF's are what keep this hobby alive. Am I an ARF man? You bet! I've owned more ARF's in the past 10 years than some in the hobby will have owned in their entire lifetime. Am I a kit man? Well......I'm getting there! LOL! I'm on my second. I'm a flyer. An ARF can arrive at the doorstep on Wednesday, and I can be maidening on Saturday. I don't care much on putting them together any more, though. I don't enjoy it like I used to. I'd rather just fly. On the other hand, I've moved more toward enjoying a true build. I've become a lot more attentive to detail. My buddy Jeff has rubbed off on me. There's no other person on this planet any more attentive to detail than he is! I've moved on to wanting to have the best looking, scale plane I can build being flown in the most scale manner I can possibly fly. When it's time to burn holes in the sky, out come the ARF's! I don't guess I'll ever have the respect of the ARF guys because I now like to build, nor the Kit guys because I still like to ARF it up. You can't make everybody happy. |
RE: Difficult Arfs!
Balsa trees..... They are ALL ARFS... Some are just reddier (is that a word?) to fly than others! :D:D:D
Enjoy! |
RE: Difficult Arfs!
Yeah man, I know exactly what you mean. Ifly my cheapies like I stole them, so far that's all I have other than a couple trainers. I have a .60 TFP-47 that I am building to last and still be a fun flier but also to do scale flying with it too.. my dad and I like to chase eachother and while we could pull elevator til the wings fold, we keep it reasonable. I also have a Meister P-47 that will hit the table this summer whenI get a chance.. I wont fly the Meister like I stole it, thats not what Iam building it for.. that guy will get the details and the care.. hopefully I can do a good enough job that a guy can appreciate.. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f.../thumbs_up.gif

RE: Difficult Arfs!
This entire thread is a joke.....please.......don’t you have something to “Build”……?
If you can’t start a thread that is “Productive” and advances the hobby and does not “Bash” RCU……go somewhere else…or don’t post…please! You embarrass me and this forum trying to “Stir things up” with this childish debate…… I will not engage in this debate, only because there is no debate… All we do in this hobby is BUILD…PERIOD…[X(] Read what Webster has to say…..and see for yourself… If my use of that word offends you, go somewhere else…go to the “real” site and quit wasting my time with this thread and others like it you have started… And I really think the moderators should delete this entire thread…and warn the OP.....it is not productive at all…really. |

This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen
WHO CARES!!!!!! Just build or fly your damn planes or don't. Jeez, some people really either need a life or something to argue about, don't they. |

And i examine this from the *quality* point of view. I remember a Ripmax prop-jet ARF i had, that never finished it (..sold it after a while ). It was the F4-E for a 90 size 2-stroke. It s@cked...woods ? fiberglass fuse.... ? Fitment of tail surfaces ? Big-mess....i wish i had spent my money elsewhere! http://img.perezhilton.com/misc/poss...da8bcaa0cf.jpg Konstantinos |

I think Cabin Fever can effect more than others, especially if one is unemployed and or doesn't have a project on the table. I should know, I've been guilty of this sort of thing in the past. Any of the Moderators can back me on that statement. [&:]

AND you know the true sign of a great builder's accomplishment and the admiration of that work can ultimately be seen in the top form of flattery……imitation… I am referring to the first A-10 (Jet Model) ever build was a couple of guys, a few years ago… I read about them in Popular Mechanics…retired military, lives in Thailand and set out to make the first twin turbine A-10…Thousands of hours, totally scratch built…and now after he competes with it in top gun, years later, there are at least 2 ARF’s made from his work…and I see them all over, at my field, in north FLA, etc…and for someone to flatter you buy spending $30,000.00 on a Jet kit (Or ARF) to duplicate what you did yourself…Wow! And that is not counting the smaller EDF’s and foamies…these guys must still be smiling ear to ear…as they left their mark on the hobby and have the Top Gun trophy and model to prove it… And like you say, a real modeler stands in awe when the plane rolls out to fly with 150,000 rivets and weathering and detail you can’t get in an ARF… Most scrath built models speak for themselves and a true modeler knows that..... |

MAYBE, A STICK KIT SHOULD BE CALLED AN ARF KIT ??? IT SEEMS THAT SOME "BUILD" ENTHUSIASTS WANT CREDIT FOR THE TREES THEY DIDN'T GROW OR HARVEST, THE METALS THEY DIDN'T EXTRACT, REFINE, AND PROCESS INTO LINKAGES, LANDING GEAR, SCREWS, BOLTS OR ENGINES ETC.... I DON'T WANT TO EVEN MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT THE BATTERIES, RECEIVERS, SERVO'S, TRANSMITTERS, PROPS OR FUEL THAT PROBABLY NONE OF US HAVE THE RESOURCES TO CREATE ON OUR OWN. YOU KNOW WHERE THIS IS GOING. IT APPEARS THAT ALL OF US ARE TAKING A LOT MANUFACTURED PARTS AND BUILDING WITH THEM. WE ARE ALL BUILDERS.... NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS.

RE: Difficult Arfs!
Barry and others who are acting like kids:
as a whiner of a skill set I don't have nor want at this time in my life I ask you refrain from name calling. I have shocking news for you, because you can build a kit doesn't make you better than anyone else thanks and lets keep it civil |
RE: Difficult Arfs!
:)NCIS, Barry,
I've found that most builders are not that good a flying. I'll bet you fall into that catagory. To much time on the bench. The real hobby is flying. Doesn't matter what you build ARF or Kit. Flying is the joy of the hobby. Try embracing the hobby and quit trying to stir up trouble. Of what benefit to anybody is this thread? Just what are you really trying to accomplish? Let's enjoy our common ground, flying. Well....if you can fly. Thanks Barry |
RE: Difficult Arfs!
:)BTW,
I've got a nice Extreme Flight Edge 540T on the bench right now. I'm pretty sure most stick people couldn't match the quality of this ARF if they wanted to. Pretty darn nice airplane. Thanks Barry |
