RE: Which Delta do I want?
The Diamond Dust is a kit, but has a very low parts count and builds faster than most ARFs. I framed and covered mine in about six hours (probably could have been faster, but I was watching a movie). The frame-up is super easy and the rest of the set-up takes no time at all. Hardware is included. I am a full-time college student and have no idea what extra time is, but I managed to build it in two evenings. Mine flies very well with an O.S. .32SX and Hitec HS-85MGs. It's lighter than most Dusts you'll see here and launches VERY well. It is faster than a .46AX powered Magnum at the field, if only by a small margin. Very resilient airframe, and a blast to fly, but what I really want is a Phenom with a Jett .60LX F.I.R.E on the front.
