Default Electric Bird of Time

I am looking for either a kit or ARF of an Electric Bird of Time. Can someone tell me of who is making such a kit or ARF?

Joe,

There are several sources for the BOT.

ARF's
[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDUL9&P=0]Dynaflight BOT[/link]: Less than stellar reviews. problems with the wing mostly. You'd have to cut off the nose.

[link=http://www.espritmodel.com/l_birdoftime_electro.html]Esprit Model Bird 3000 Electro [/link]: Okay from what I have read.

Kits
[link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXE630&P=0]Dynaflight BOT Kit[/link]: Poor wood quality.

[link=http://www.skybench.com/slbird.html]Skybench BOT Kits[/link]: Very good kits. Lot's of good reviews.

Hope this helps.

Thermals

I've heard that the BoT 3000 is not much stronger than the Dynaflite ARF. I know one flyer that lost two of them to wing failures. For an electric it might be fine.
