Status: offline 		hey.......that is pretty nice looking.......

.30- .40 size ....... fairly large with a 610sq wing ..... glass fuselage. Im surprised I have not seen more discussion on these.

Apparently they offer it built as well as ready-to-cover or ARF for an additional cost.

Im gonna have to bookmark this..

It does look pretty good. Price isn't too bad either if the quality is there.

Status: offline 		yeah $85 is not bad. I must admit it looks better than a srike, thanks to a rounded fuselage along rear and aft apexes....
But it is not difficult to take one design an alter it slightly as well !!
Please post any feedback on kit delivery.

Status: offline 		rmenke,

thx for posting this info. How shall I contact them by email ? Is the email address mentioned on their web site not valid ?

For me, no, arfs just suck... building such airframes is dead easy and you can choose YOUR paint scheme, which is unvaluable...
