For an airplane of this caliber, I would not want an ARF. Even though there are some relatively nice ARF's out there, pattern planes are meant to be precise, and that really can't be done in a factory in Taiwan where the people building it know nothing of airplanes, or really care. There is the Focus though, and it was intended to be an affordable plane for anybody wanting to try pattern and I think they did a good job with it.

bla, what engine do you have in your Hydeout? I have one with a Webra 1.45 and it flies great. I love it!
