Slightly off topic, but relevant..I have long been a big fan of Kyosho ARFs....expensive yes...but quite well designed and built. Tower/Great Planes has lost credibility in my estimation...as well as with many other flyers...having produced and marketed a number of "dogs". They appear to place their emphasis exclusively on profit, with not much care and thought into quality and performance. Just look at the short life of their Giles ARF. Look also at their error in stab incidence when blowing up the venerable Aeromaster into the giant version....also long discontinued. It ballooned like a homesick angel. I simply don't buy any of their offerings anymore. There are too many other, excellent flying, cost effective choices out there.
