Default Cermark F-20 vs F-16 vs Patriot kit

Joe,
Kangke has both a 40 and 60 size F-20 available. I'm putting the 40 size together now.
Very nicely done ARF...little different though. Has a horizontal stab, complete with elevator servo that bolts to the airframe, ( Blind nuts already installed.) Nice, rather thin one- piece wing. (Set up for fixed gear, not retracts.)
The framing and covering is first rate. The hardware is 'OK'.
I snapped one of the threaded rods trying to 'Z-bend' it, so will replace all of them. It has hardwood engine rails, so you may only get one shot at your engine choice. But all-in-all, it's a very nice , fast building plane.
It does not look near as slick as the Patriot though...kind of boxy, but it should be fast. I'll just be using a Max 46FX, but it will still out-pace anyone at my field....so it should be fun.
