Loads of Super Chipmunks but no Chipmunks, 'cept maybe two:
Dynaflite - too big, and Airsail - just right but who knows about 'em?

RE: Best & Worst ARF brands
I prefer kits but went out on a limb and bought a H9 ARF, it was outstanding construction and the hardware was more than adequate for a .40 size plane. On the other hand, I bought another ARF recently from Pacific Aeromodels, and WOW, the construction was LIGHT and very STRONG! See the User Reviews on the Edge 540T from PA and you can see some pictures of the construction. Never before have I seen a .40 size plane with a wing tube and plug in wings, pull-pull rudder, dual elevator servos in the tail, and interlocking aircraft ply motorbox! Tell me if you find another .40 size plane like this made by a different compay!

RE: Best & Worst ARF brands
I have not been in the hobby for 40 years like some can claim. I do not know everything about R/C Planes like some will claim they do. I do not consider the Plane that I am Flying at this moment to be the best ever like some will claim. I do not lay judgement on my fellow flyers Plane if I have not flown one, or owned one like it. I don't have the abillity to just look at a picture of a Plane, or hear its makers name and tell you it is bad like some of the experts can. I own a Couple Vmar ARF's, so it just has to be assumed that I am not mentally stable, and know very little about Planes.....and I would surely be lying if I told you that a Vmar was a good Flying Plane. The people that own all the best Planes, and they know who they are, will surely correct me when I state that a Vmar Plane Flys good. As a matter of fact I can almost admit that I am wrong when I say that a Vmar fly's well, cause I am usually wrong about lots of things. It's much like Tennis Shoes. We all know, and surely not a single sole will disagree that a $200 pair of Nike is just got to be better than my $13 Kmart Tennis Shoes. The Nike even makes you jump 2-3ft higher I think. Even though my Kmart Shoes look, feel, and smell the same as a pair of Nike. The Nike certainly have to be better because they cost $187 more. Mike Jordan wears them to, so you just know that they have to be better. Mike wouldn't lie about it! He probally even done them commercials for free because he likes his $200 shoe so much, and who would I be to argue with a shoe expert like Mike? My advice about what is good, and what is bad is to listen to the Experts. So even if you believe your Plane is awsome, and you really enjoy Flying it! You better throw it away if the Experts say it is no good. Listen to the rude NJ "Giggle....Giggle" guy in the earlier post! He sounds like a real expert! If he says "It is Crap"! Then you better take that to the bank and believe it is crap! I myself have always made the mistake in listening to the nice fellows who have actually owned and flown Planes like mine, but it probally makes more sense to find one of these R/C Plane Know-It-Alls in the forums. They are very hard to find because 99.9% of the people in the forums are all in the dark like me, and don't know a good Plane from a bad! If you search real hard though you will find that .01% that knows absolutely everything you ever wanted to know about R/C Planes..................

RE: Best & Worst ARF brands
Kangaroo ... I am fussy about my planes but still one of my favourite plane is the Phoenix Scanner (USD70) and my Black Horse SU31 (USD80). Both are El CHeapos but they are my favourites, even then the quality is very decent for the price unlike VMARs. It does not mean expensive = good or expensive = satisfaction. But when we talk about good or bad sometimes we leave out the issue of how it really flies and satisfaction out of the equation. Its about quality for the price. Just pure b*tching only. Not about slamming a brand for the heck of it.
I love some cheap wines and do not think a Moet is that good at all!
