Status: offline 		Horizon did not do the public any favours by selling the 260 and a 50cc gas as a combo, kinda like selling a ford focus with a 5.0 engine as a daily driver..to the average joe.

anyways, glad you got thru that nonsense, the H9 260 is a good plane, but not suitable for a 50cc for most.
Your full frame 50cc choices are, but are not limited to, are Extreme Flight, 3D Hobby shop, PAU, Aeroworks for the more better high end stuff.

EDIT:
Add Pilot aircraft

Peakmodels has good offerings, but little parts support, EG aircraft, Slipstream, Red wing, Goldwing, Troybuild, Great planes, RC guys, Top Flite, the list goes on
A nicer, decent 50cc will be around 600$ and up, once assembled and flown, the extra $ is well spent.
Do try to outfit it with as best as budget allows.
If you like them fast with G loading, I would go with the more respected competition style brands,

EDIT:
Great Planes has a 50cc Revolver for faster laps if you like.

I did, and probably a few others worth mentioning, there really is a huge market, that can be overwhelming for someone stepping into better/good airframes.

Status: offline 		Good grief... how time flies. Its been over a year since I bought a new kit of this model... got the front end done, then dropped out of the hobby again for other distractions. What woke me up was the realization that I didn't even renew my AMA for 2012.

But I'm back now, with renewed interest; the break did some good.

Sorry for the life story I know is of no interest to anyone. Anyway, back to the H9 27%...

I disagree that this airframe is not suited for a 50cc gasser. I had two different ones on my first model, and they did quite well; particularly the Brison 3.2. But no more gasoline for me, so this new one will have a BGX-1 glow engine.

As some have noted, this is one of the BEST flying models many RCers have ever tried. With the CG right, it is without doubt the best landing airplane _I_ have ever flown. When there was no wind, the slightly reflexed ailerons I had set up on a "landing mode" produced greaser wheel landings with almost no effort.

I am really looking forward to getting back in the air with this plane. The BGX-1 is a bit short on raw power for extended vertical, but it should fly a Basic sequence well enough.

I just realized this is the 3F forum... Oops...
