ORIGINAL: ShinySteelRobot

If sales take off, I'd love to see someone on this side of the Atlantic remake the Tiporare or Illusion pattern plane as an ARF.
I don't think that's going to happen. Personally, I don't think it makes any sense to produce wood fuse Tipo's as ARF's. The whole concept of the Tipo was to finesse and simplify some of the construction of the original Curare (among other things). The wood fuse Tipo is simpler to build yet hard to reproduce time and time again in wood reason for which the glass versions were made. The tuck lines in particular along with how the "canopy" portion of the Tipo is constructed are tricky to deal with as ARF's. Omitting these details tends to loose the character of the Tipo and Illusion.

Also, covering a Tipo or Illusion wood fuse is a bad proposition. I discovered this from doing it on a little one.

Having said that, glass Tipo's and Illusions exist as ARF's..., they just need a little paint before flying...
