Default RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Yeah, I have a Saito club number, I just don't remember what it is anymore!

The Corby Starlet is an ARF, and it was put out by Sportsman aviation, which is (I believe) an Australian company. I'm making that assumption based on the ready availability of their kits all over Australia, but not so much in the USA. The ARF seems to be of excellent quality. The plane is a beauty. Not very big, but the Full-scale was only 18 feet in span.

We were just talking about whether they're available again in the USA. Apparently, they lost their distributor. I think this is a link to the thread where we're talking about the Corby Starlets. Much of the talk is about the 38% version, but some of it is about this .50 - .70 size version. Drop in! I think somewhere in the last page or so there was somebody mentioning that they still have a smaller version in the box.

I can't say anything about the flight characteristics yet, but I'll have her out to the field soon. They other guys say it flies great.
