Just for future reference, who manufactured that ARF, It's always good to learn from others mistakes and to know who to avoid in future purchases. This type of question is the opposite side of the coin since these guys obviously are not taking pride in what they produce and will continue to keep their standards low as long as the public doesn't speak up.

Along variety, there are plenty in electrics as well as gas, you just need to surf around. This market "www wise" is not nearly as developed compared to many others on the web, so the first search results are not going to be your only options, believe me, the more I search, the more options and plane lines I find, it's utterly amazing the shere volume of good ARF's. I'm like you with the space issue, I just put together a green model butterfly, it's a high wing rather advanced trainer design, very well thought out and extreemly simple to put together, with a 4' wingspan, I'd never be able to get it in my girlfriends kia, luckily the wings detach, you might want to get ones that break down like that as well. I also do think most of these players that have a fleet, never take them all out at once.
