I have seen a lot of "Brand X ARF are Junk" threads lately. Seems like it is really getting out of hand. I want to try and experiment;
I would like everyone to post the brand of ARF you absolutely believe is "junk", and would never buy again. Then post the brand of ARF you feel is the absolute best. Base this on ARF's you have actually built and flown, not what you have read or heard. Please don't get into any long descriptions or bashing. Just the "Worst and Best".
I bet almost every brand will show up on both lists.
I am not doing this to be funny or a smart#$% ... I am going to tell you the ARF that was the best quality (fit, finish, etc.) and the ARF that was the worst.
Absolute best ARF I have built and flown - GreatPlanes Cessna 182 Skyline
Absolute worst ARF I have built and flown - GreatPlanes AT-6 Texan
Total ARFs I have built and flown in the past year for comparison[ul][*] 1 Kyosho Corsair[*] 4 Hanger9 SS Cessna (don't ask why 4
)[*] 2 GreatPlanes AT-6 Texan (1 crappy, 1 excellent)[*] 1 GreatPlanes Cessna 182 Skyline[*] 1 Sportsman Aviation .60 Waco[*] 1 Lanier P-47[/ul]
Dang .. now that I list them, I see where all of my money has gone [&o]
