How about a catagory for modifying ARFs. I have been an active kit and scratch builder for 20+ years. Having developed an allergy to sawdust and CA glues (mostly work related ) I have been buying ARFs lately with only one building project each winter.
I, like many builders are tired of reading reviews in mags that describe the packaging and how fast the plane goes together and how little work there was - all of which seem to be really important LOL (IMHO you assemble an ARF, you do not "build it") So as a builder I keep modifying ARFs to suit my taste. It saves some time for construction of a kit or from plans, yet makes the ARF more interesting.
I would suggest here that more people should show their mods to ARFs or the new creations that come from them. It could be anything from small changes or recovering to new makes or variants of the prototype itself
So lets see your pictures and hear about your mods.
