I Guys,

I want to thank you both for your prompt replies. Since I was looking for an ARF I think GH is for me but not the kit. I also saw that Vmar puts out an ARF of the same plane. Do you fellows have any experience with Vmar?
I would like to take exception to Jwoolridge's post. I have 300 flights on my Vmar Extra, a delightful plane with an OS 46FX. I was so impressed that I recommended one to my friend, a scale warbird builder. He bought one, liked it, and sold it for room later. The buyer loves it.

The Extra may be unique among the Vmar offerings, since I hear some of the other offerings bashed, like jwoolridge was doing. Don't include the Extra in that bash-list, it is sturdy and aerobatic. Not for beginners, but a good second or third aerobatic plane.

I would recommend it, with the caution to seal the edges of the covering with CA.

Good luck,
Dave Olson
