Hornplayer99, do you have an actual name?

There are NO ARF planes allowed at Top Gun. However you may take an ARC or strip a model and refinish it in scale Military markings. The ARC aircraft MUST be cleared by Frank Tiano or an official to compete In Pro-Am since there is a no builder rule.

Since it seems like my Airworld FW 190A has been the focus plane regarding ARF's at Top Gun, I would like to clarify some facts about the FW that I have campaigned over the last two years. My entry over the last two years have been in PRO AM ONLY. The FW was built by Airworld entirely. I did not even paint it! My involvement was adding some weathering while I was at Top Gun when the plane arrived from California. I guess that info is really going to knock you off your chair. Lucky for me Top Gun rules allow builders and pilots to compete at the same event. Your comment that the Airworld kits are ARF's are totally wrong. Have you ever built a composite kit? Did you know that most AW kits do not come with instructions? The Airworld kits arrive as a shell only, hardly an ARF. The ARF of todays standards arrive painted, retracts installed, control horns and pushrods installed and not to mention the servo slots precut for your servos. I would love for you or anyone to open the box to an Airworld kit while holding a bottle of ZAP glue with high hopes that within 45 minutes you will have a flying model let alone a competition airplane. Top Gun IS the best Scale event in the world and has many entry categories to fill everones desires. I have won Team Scale three times since 1992 without even building the aircraft. You see I have entered every competition since 1992 as a pilot. If you do not want to see a (modified) ARF competing in Pro Am then you might want to view the Expert, Designer or Team Scale category only. It sounds like you have a passion for Scale aircraft which is awesome to hear! I look forward meeting you in person one day perhaps at Top Gun.
