My own contribution to the lists above- and there are probably still more missing.....

- The Box Fly series of ARF/kits. These were "sort of" ARF's where the wings were just about complete but where the rest was like a traditional wood kit. Three sizes as I recall. A .40 with ailerons, a .20 or so without ailerons (although an aileron version may have been available too), and a .10 with no ailerons and no landing gear. The .10 was just about impossible to fly unless you lowered to leading edge of the wing by at least 3/8". Don't ask me how I know.....

- The Super Box Fly series. These were true ARF's. Judging by their colorful covering I'd say the focus was on American modelers. At least two sizes of these ARF's- a .10 and a .40 (or .60?), but I would not rule out the possibility there was yet another size available.
