I bought this older ARF (almost ready to fly) kit a while back. One is supposed to be able to assemble and fly in about 4 hrs. Ha! It was so poorly designed that I decided to redesign it to make it not be a lawn dart. 2 months later, it is done. I added new features like flaps for landing and retracts. Changed the design in areas to make it more reliable. Plus a pilot for effect. Can't wait to fly it.

Many years ago i built a radio controlled glider. Enormous wingspan. Used about fifty feet of surgical tubing to get it up in the air only to have it flip over and fly backwards. It went down on the boulevard but it was a sunday morning and there weren't many cars. I patched it up but never tried again. A friends husband did the same thing in Sandiego only to watch it dive into the pacific. The DJI drone was much more satisfying until the FAA started requiring registrations and sending out nastygrams.
