Default F 18???

Hey everybody! Just wondering if anyone knows of a decent sized (and more importantly good flying) F18 ARF out there? Everywhere I look, all I can find are the foamy jobs, or turbines. I don't want to go turbine just yet, and the foamies are just not tough enough. I have a Cermark F18p, and it's great, but has seen better days and that's starting to show in flight. I would love to have another one, but sadly, as seems to be the case with all the good planes, they don't make it anymore.

I don't want to go DF or EDF

Anyone have any ideas, know of something I've missed?

Thanx!

Perhaps it would behoove you to say something in either your subject title or post concerning the fact that you want a prop jet. I had to go Google the model in order to find out what the crap you were talking about with no DF or EDF setups.

Horizon tried making a few of those sometime back and you used to see them occasionally, but these days if you don't want a turbine it'll be EDF and most likely foam. I don't think anyone has built a glow powered DF in quite some time either.

Wow, "behoove"? Haven't heard that one in a while, who even talks like that anymore? Anyway, you got the point of what I was looking for, which is the whole idea. It's called reading, which you seem to have a problem with doing. Did you really have to be so crass in your reply?

Now, does anyone ELSE know of any F18 ARFs or kits that are prop propelled, and not made of foam? As I said in my original post, and Zeeb so redundantly replied, all I can find are either EDF foamies or turbine. Now, if you know of a foamy that's pretty tough, and that won't easily chip or fall apart when taking off/landing on grass, I'd be interested in that as well. If you don't know of anything, that's fine, there's no need to reply, and certainly no need to reply with attitude, insults or writing lessons. If you do know of something that I've missed, I'd like to hear from you. Even if someone has a Cermark F-18p (or comparable) that's in good condition that they're willing to part with, message me if we can work out a deal.

Thanks in advance!
