Status: offline 		Haven't seen any so far, anyone know of a company that makes them that won't require my first born or one of my appendages? Saw one website that had them (3 Seabee's, I believe), they were like $700-$1000 each without motor. Maybe after I graduate... I know giant scale planes are expensive, just hoping there's some Chinese ARF manufacturer out there (like Nitroplanes.com, for example) that produces this size ARF for about $300 that also happens to make WWI models.

I really like the Balsa USA planes, and what I've read of them leads me to believe that they're probably the best option out there, but between school and work I just don't have the time and even if I did there's another plane already on the table awaiting completion. Another issue is that my building skills are mediocre at best, I'd hate to screw up a B-USA kit. I've got two Ryobi 31cc engines in the basement just begging for something to put one in. WWI is by far my favorite period of aviation and I don't own any WWI planes at the moment, I figure it's time.

I'd also take a Zero ARF. Nitroplanes has one, as does giantscaleplanes.com, but they're both either too small or too large for the Ryobi's. Specifically, the smaller ones are for 120 sized four stroke (a nice 23-25cc gasser would do well here) or 40-50cc for the large ones. I'm kinda stuck in the middle.

Alternatively, if someone has an Echo 23.6 or 25cc engine already converted they'd like to trade for a Ryobi 31cc already converted, shoot me a pm
