ok , you have convinced me. can i put an arf together. i am a maint. man in a refinery so i do have a mechanical ability. then what arf should i buy, i want big with a 4 stroke

Hi thecelt,
check out the Sig lt40,it has good instructions and is a very good plane to fly.
Have a goodun,John.

If you're talking Cub, then I would suggest the GP 80" arf with
the fabric look covering. Second would be the Hanger 9 80" Cub.
Just flew my H9 this afternoon with a ThunderTiger 54 4c. Great
combo to have a relaxing day of flying. If you want the 100" size
of the H9 Cub, then the TT 91 4c would work. Any of these arf's
are no real challenge to put together and end up with a good
looking scale plane. They do not like to be flown in a breeze much
over 15 mph without having problems putting them back on the
ground softly.
Just curious as to your location. I spent 20 + years as a piping
designer/ petro-chem model builder and made a couple of trips
to work in beautiful down river Ashland Ky. Not much area there
to fly a big Cub -- too many trees and RR tracks.

If, as you say, you're mechanically inclined, get the Great Planes 60 size Cub KIT! Why fly a plane that someone else built? To many of us, building is half the fun, and definitely half the challenge! Go 4 it!
