RE: Alpha 40 or Arrow 40?
After some 25+ years of being out of the hobby and. hours of research here on RCU and other web-sites, I went with the arrow 40. A great model. Joined a club, got an instructor( which I highly suggest) and they all love it. Performs very well. The Evolution engine is great. Starts everytime and performs great.
My only problem is that all the instructors and other club members lke it to much and everyone wants to fly it. Maybe someday, I'll get a chance.
Nothing but compliments. For what its worth.
If you can't have fun, why show up!
