Actually, as I stated before, I have personally seen this plane up close. I was actually in the market for an ARF 109 at the time and this post showed up right before the 2010 Toledo Show. I made it a point to go and look at the plane which was displayed at a booth. It took about 2 seconds for me to decide that it wasn't even close to scale, and I made that realization from 10 feet away. As if the neon paint scheme wasn't enough, the proportions are just as non-scale as they look in the photos. I immediately walked over to the Nitroplanes booth and bought the CMP 109.

I don't know how the ET model flies, but for someone who wants relatively scale proportions this model was a non starter. Repainting it isn't even an option because new paint can't cover up the shape.
