Best I have assembled is Dave Patrick. Utlmiate 40.

Worst was Thunder Tiger. Still an okay plane though. Champion 45L.

In reply to the Hobbico Ultimate 40 disgust. I admit it was not built like ARF's are today, but for the time it was reasonable. In anycase I flew 1 for 4 years at nearly 2 gallons a week with a ST60 on a tuned pipe. It was hands down 1 of the best flying planes I have ever had. I have also never had so much fun with a plane until my DP Ultimate 40 that I got last year. I will admit though it was a bit tough to repair when necessary. My wings never came off, despite frequent WOT flybys following a nice long dive.
