RE: Stinger ARF
I wanted to mention that the stinger 60 kit and the 60 ARF are two different animals. The ARF is a built up, all wood model with fiberglass cowl and wheel pants. Not to be confused with the ABC plastic parts and foam wing of the kit.
It's one of the few exceptions in models where the arf is actually better than the kit. I found it to be realivly light for a 60 sized plane, mine came in at just over 7 lbs. The only problem I found with mine (other than the tree I knife edged through!) was the star stickers for the wings peeled off as soon as a little fuel residue came into contact. Skip the stickers, other than that a keeper.
