RE: HOW GOOD ARE KYOSHO PLANES?
I've been flying the Kyosho "Aurum" for years. It's long discontinued, but was an excellent pattern type plane. I have well over 125 flights on it, and I bought it used....It's well designed, well built, and although pricey...it's worth it. Seems to me Kyosho makes pretty good stuff....I've owned the Pitts and the Stearman, and I like them too. But then to put some balance into my comments...their ducted fan ARFs are notoriously underpowered and the guys I have known owning them universely dislike them.
