 I talked to the guys from Sig in Toledo and they have put the Rascal 110 kit on the back burner for awhile. Since they got issues with their ARF suppliers worked out they are going to bring out an ARF of the 110 before the kit comes out. sorry to be the bearer of bad news here.

I am not sure of the fit with the 35cc Roto, but this is a nice looking 1/4 scale kit for sale in the classifieds.  At a reasonable price (of course, you will likely spend 4-5 times that much getting it in the air).

         I just came back from the local hobby shop. I asked them to inquire about the Sig 1/3 scale spacewalker. The response from Sig was that they are waiting on fiberglass parts from their vendors. They went on to say it will be about 1 to 2 months before they are ready.

Status: offline 		I haden't flown since 1998, had a 4 star 60 given to me. Jumped right in and started flying it, one of the best planes I've flown. That was 3 months ago. As of today I've built 2 kits and ran 3 gal of fuel thru the 4 star. A friend gave me a Long EZ to build, (part of the Fusco fiasco) can't wait to get it built. Long story short, one 4 star sucked me headlong right back into rc. Set up flaprons on it today just to see how they worked, talk about a floater, the thing just refuses to land, hehe.

Build and fly an Ultra Sport 60 and you'll start throwing rocks at your 4-Star!!!!!

Status: offline 		I would have to agree with Ken on the Ultra Sport 60. My favorite kit of all time, although the 4* is a close 2nd. The only CG Tiger I've ever seen was in the top of a tree and in pieces so I can't say how well if flew, the pilot wasn't so good. I started building the Fusco Long EZ last night, that's going to be a fun project.

ORIGINAL: RACE 66

This is for general discussion. I've got a few years of modeling under my belt, and I recall when ARF's were the rarity, example: Lanair's models, Jesters, etc. and kits abound of the balsa type. Now, because of "change" the opposite is true. Less kits verse's many ARF'S, ARC'S etc. availible.

Now my point of the discussion, It's hard to find a relative complete source for kits. You have to hunt and pick for viewing. My question, has someone assembled a resource of kits, kit cutters etc on the web where you can go to one resource or several, rather spending allot of time "surfing"- "window shopping" ? Yes I know I am asking for the "golden ring", but I gotta ask. Thanks for any suggestions.

But for me there is scratch building. To me much more gratifying, and really a lot of fun! (Burns up winters!) Anddd there are tons and tons of plans out there. Cleveland, Zerolli, (Spelling) and All of the plans from RCM & Model Airplane News...and there are some guys who have gone to the trouble of copying plans of kits no longer in existence.  Food for Thought!

Slick, I take it you are not a big model builder??  What's up with that? Is "BARF" some kind of new ARF??  Hee hee.

Noob shot down my ultrasport, and I sold the 4 star. But I have a ultrasport 40 kit in my stash (and will watch for 60 at swaps), and a partially built 4*120 from the estate of a deceased club member for the future.

They are a bad news bear! They were selling a flight simulator for $19.+
and that should have been the warning...they will not talk to you or respond to email...I have sent the product in absolutely new condition back to them, and have since turned the matter over to the BBB.
