I like the scheme of the H-9 better, but I think the fit/finish of the Top Flite is nicer, just my opinion, though, and I like the larger size of the TF version; of course, that means more $$ for bigger engines, etc. Even with the difference in size, wing loadings are very close to the same.
In about a month (hopefully), there will be a third choice: KMP's second generation B-25.
96" wingspan, composite fuselage, VERY scale design, and flat finishing. She'd take a pair of Saito 100's, instead of the 82's one might put in the Topflite. The list price (with built-up wing) is only $50 more than the TF, and if your budget is BIG you can go for the composite wing for an extra $400!
5th gen pneumatic retracts (which have received good reviews) bundled for $250 more. No idea when Robart or Sierra alternatives might be available.
