I have to say that there are some pretty discriminating flyers here. When you get one of these sport scale birds in the air I think it's pretty hard to tell that thier lines aren't perfect. I have been flying the Hanger nine AT 6 all summer. It is a great flying plane. It's looks great in the air and I get compliments all the time on how great it looks on the ground. I agree that if you are a true scale nut then any ARF is not the way to go. With my job, house, kids etc I don't have the time to devote to a real scale project as most of us don't. The only change I made to the H9 T6 was to replace the landing gear wires with the Robart ones mentioned in other threads. That took care of all of the ground handing problems. I fly off a pretty rough grass field so I know about bad ground handling. I have an old OS 91 four stroke in it and it is a great match. The plane balanced perfectly. It flys great and takes off and lands easily. It's not a trainer so you do need to keep some speed on it comming in. I highly recommend it.
