Re: Pros & Cons-Composite frame vs. wood airframe Its hard to argue with that logic.. we've all become "I want it now" junkies. I recently built an Extreme Composites Edge 540, and yes, there were several little things... things that they could have done for you... that would have made the build faster and better. tank trays, cutting slots for pull pull cables, installing a servo tray, other things that on this plane, really could only be done one way, so why leave it up to the builder to possibly do it wrong?
Anyway, with that said, I must also say that this plane flies better, truer than any wood arf I've owned. No covering to iron, and with a couple of coats of wax, it shines like a new car. I was so impressed that I sold my 50cc sized plane and ordered a Comp ARF 2,1M Yak.. shuold be here next week.
I've heard that on these smaller planes, they leave even more up to the builder, so I'm sure that I'm going to have a few late nights and frustration.... but if I make it to the end, hopefully I'll think it was worth it. |
