Monokote color on 47" ARF's?
Could you tell me what red is on the 47" Edge ARF. Came out of the box with a little tear in one aileron, no big deal but the monokote red I have doesn't match. (Read on a search that it is monokote on them, right?) Also-have you had many complaints about the control rods in these ARF's-so brittle I can no way make a z bend without breaking them-will just have to change them out. Saw a couple posts on this-wondering if they were all like that. Great ARF!! Can't wait to get it in the air.

RE: Monokote color on 47" ARF's?
Yes this is 100% monokote. I believe the red is missile red. Never heard any complaints about the pushrods at all and I've been using them extensively on many 40 size planes. Try a little heat with a propane torch and see if that helps. I like the stiffer rods better than one that flexes under extreme loads.
