RE: whats the ARF that started it all ????
R-1st,
Sounds like Lanier was king of the ARF's. I had a Comet with an Enya .45 and a O.S. Diamond Series 6 channel on 27 mhz. Huge blue see-through servos and a fitted leather cover for the TX.
Oh, but I soon moved up to a Shell Fly B with a Kraft 7 powered by an HP .40 motor. (That motor had the smooth head on it without any fins and a LOUD flow-through muffler. ) Love to find one of those motors NIB!
