Adv composite

-less hangar rash
-chance of water or weather warping a control surface or fuse side less
-typically straight and true (for an ARF)
-lots of people have em so setups are out there.

Disadv

-costs more than wooden
-if you aren't good with fiberglass repair any mishaps can be difficult
-fixing the paint can be difficult if you are not a good painter
-even though its an ARF there is typically more work to do before you can fly it than the more modern wood ARFS on the market
-squeals when you snap or spin (put this on ADV if you like that sorta thing)
-everyone has the same scheme and it adds lots of weight to change it (sand/prime/paint)
-if you are flying IMAC you need to add the tubing to the rudder edge so it won't wag


There are more of both..........these are just a few.

I prefer wood planes, but that is just me.
