Default RE: Buy a RTF or?

KYOSHO just came out with two 40size models that they call ARF. Truth is, they're almost as completed as some RTFs. The only gluing is to put the two wing halves together and stick on the horizontal tail. Hinging is already done, pushrods are in place, horns already on, motor mount bolted on, wheels bolted on the gear.... almost a RTF.

And they're right on $100.

I'm flying the low wing daily because it's so good. It's supposed to be a low wing trainer. hahaha..... yeah right...... It is stable as heck and easy to fly, but what it can do is way beyond what trainers are for........ hmmmmmmmmmmmm

A buddy has the high wing. If it can't do anything the low wing can do, we haven't seen it. And it IS a trainer. But one that can do anything.

KYOSHO Calmato is the high wing. Calmato Sport is the low wing.

Both of them only need the wing halfs joined and the stab glued in. Oh yeah, you do have to put your engine on and the servos in.
