Minicraft AFR?
Hi all
I've just searched for minicraft, and there are no postings at all. Has anyone had experience with these ARF's? I was interested in their Cessna Bird Dog, but they have a few others that look nice.
Any opinions anyone?
Thanks
Peter

Minicraft AFR?
Minicraft produces great quality kits .
i do not have one but many friends at the club have it .
easy to assemble and good flying characteristics overall.
I have seen them in action -- from the Sherbet 10L right upto the 100"inch Cub with many planes in between like the javelin, whizz, cap , piper cessana,pt 19, taylorcraft , edge540.

Minicraft AFR?
My Minicraft's birddog is one of my all time favorite ARF, with SAITO FA-52, it's a great flyer. I think it snould be better to put 4-stroke engine for more sound realistic, you'll love it. The fews concern are in the quality issue, mine maybe the first batch, some modifications are need, such as the exit hole for the rudder is disappear so I need to do it myself, other is acceptable and overall is good impression. I've a plan to buy more Minicraft's product, the Javelin maybe the next!
