Default Hirobo ARFS?

Anybody seen one of these?

I know they are known for Helis and have a good rep for them, but nobody seems to know anything about their planes

Fellow club member has the .50 size Sukhoi.... he flies it with a Saito .91... balance is perfect, and the thing is awesome (I traded him the kit... ouch)... The Saito is mounted inverted, and is completely inside the cowling.... One tip.... BEEF up the gear block on the Sukhoi... I think the gear is to long, and has a ton of leverage on landings..... he bounced it and BAM the gear block came out...... He quickly fixed it, and it's one of his favorites... which is odd, because his other planes are awesome... 33% stuff..

I have a Stream 50 with a Ys-63. The Arf is of excellent quality and a great flyer.

I will agree with Wingster. I also have the Stream 50 with a YS-63. It's an impressive looking and flying airplane. I only need more time, and better weather to enjoy it! Best ARF I have assembled to date.

Interesting, I didnt know Hirobo made airplanes. I did some searching and came up with some info. Seems the pricing is a bit high. Anyone know a retailer who them?


Here is a pic of the Sukhoi, looks sharp
