Default Freestyle

The Freestyle is one of their newer planes. I have built many Global (and Hangar 9, World Models, and Great Planes) ARF's. This includes the Avenger, Ultimate Bipe and others. I can tell you that the Freestyle goes together very well, with no doubt the best Global plane I've built. It is on par with WM stuff. Better alignment and fit than H9 or GP models that I have built. Comes with a clear cowl (to help with cutouts for the engine) plus truly usable hardware including a really nice fuel tank.

The Tequila Sunrise is one of their older models. Everybody's ARF's seem to be getting better and better, so it's possible today's newer GP and H9's ARFs have even better fit and finish than the ones I built.

Parts alignment is great and the plane flies awesome with a YS63. You can fly it with a 46 like the OS 46FX or Magnum 46XLS, but the plane will not be 3D capable without some added power. An OS 50, YS63 or Saito 72 would be the right power for it.
