ORIGINAL: ALO 111

I just maidened the world models ultimate 120. I used a os 120 ax 2 stroke and cannot think of using less .
World models are excellent quality with a lot of assembly already done, there hardwear is great as well.
You are right on about World Models. In the world of ARFs, they are in the top 10% IMO. That is in quality of airframe including fit and finish, covering, hardware quality and completeness (most even have pinned hinges installed correctly), quality of canopies and fiberglass parts, paint, added accessories like retracts and spinners (even good quality aluminum ones on some planes), and all this at competitive prices. Yes, World Models is proof that it can be done right, at an affordable price. Plus, they look good and fly great. I'm working on one of their AT6s and a 40 size Ultimate now. Both fine kits. Built the Rockwell P-51 last spring. Also a very nice ARF.
