Entry Level Pylon Racer
My son (who now flies way better that dad ) is looking for an entry level Pylon Racer. So, any recommendations would be helpful. Again entry level, kit, or ARF. And under $150. Or is there no such thing as a less than $150 racer?

you can get a predator for about 100.00
depends on what motor you put on it if u put a nelson on it you will have to reinforce firewall

I just ran my first race this past weekend with a predator. It flies surprisingly well and is reasonably competitive to any others out there. In the entry level classes, flying the course better will almost always win over any gains had by a superior airframe. I flew my Predator in CAPS standard class with a Jett Super Sport engine. There weren't any structural problems or flutter at speed. I don't think you can beat it for the money.

For an inexpensive ARF, the Lanier Predator is the way to go.
If you want to save a couple dollars, and build a kit, Call Bill Vargas and buy a Racer II.
