Hey, Murdoc, recognize the situation very much. The problem I found with the 2meter planes that there is less choice around for a good ARF (if there is any such thing as a "good" ARF...)
. I found that I did not have the knowledge and time to build a full 2 meter plane myself.
So I choose to go first for a 90-size plane, of which there is plenty choice in ARF. Now I have also bought a 2meter plane, but this is actually a used plane from one of the top competition flyers here. In this way I have the best of both worlds (a good plane, built by somebody who knows what he is doing (--> not me

!) and still for a reasonable price, so I don't have to worry too much if it might go in).
If you would go for a 2m, I am interested to see on what plane you'd come out. I have tried also here on RCU to discuss this, but not much came out (except for the advice to go for a good used 2m plane in stead of a not so good ARF)
