RE: Which ARF for $100
As an aside I went back and looked and yes, the Sukhoi is a Modeltech ARF. I also looked in my modeling room and I have two Magics I've been flying for the past 5yrs or so. One is gas and one is electric. They are also Modeltechs. So, I looked at a Hobby People ad and saw all the ARFs Modeltech makes. All of them that I've experienced at my flying field have been Excellent ARFs. Some of lightest, most well built sport flying ARFs I've ever seen. And... they are covered in Oracover... the SAME stuff as Ultracote.
I'm even more excited about the Sukhoi I just bought now. I'll take a Modeltech over a Phoenix anyday.
