So what is your favorite ARF????
Loved my Avistar for a trainer. Sold it after 18 months of flying it.
Loved my model tech .25 sized extra for all out pucker factor aerobatics. And with an OS32 sx, would run for 8 minutes of scare the poop out of you. Plane is currently hanging up in the garage awaiting some refurb/repair. They are on sale now at hobby people for $79.99
Love my Magic 3d for slow speed aerobatics, hovering, and all out docile flying. With a TT36 heli motor and a 4 oz tank, can get 15 min flights routinely (can you say less than one gallon a month, flying 3 days a week?)
I guess it all depends on what you are wanting to do.
