No ARF's waiting to be built. One in progress the GP P-47...almost there.

I am however stocking the parts for the new Alfa ME-109 (both versions) and the H9 RV-8.

I only have two ARF's at this point. I'm trying to cut back....

Hanger 9 Ultrastick 120 Lite & a YS120 to power it
Sig Four Star 40 & a YS 53 to power it.

I also have a recently completed Hangar 9 P51 Miss America with a YS91, Keleo scale exhaust and a set of Lado electric retracts, but I haven't flown it yet.

Wow this is an old thread...anyways here are my NIB additions:

Aeroworks 150cc Extra 260 w/ DA170
Aeroworks 100cc Edge 540 w/ DLE111
EGA Yak SP-55M w/ DLE111 or DA85 (haven't made up my mind yet)
Great Planes P-47 85" w/ Rcign/Zenoah G62
Great Planes Giant Stick w/ DLE 30

The Stick will be built right away and the other four over the winter. If I put one of my 111's in the Yak then I may end up putting the 85 into my Python and then the Stick would end up with the 55 out of my Python. It is amazing what the Stick can do with a DLE55 on it. [:-]

Default RE: How many ARF's (NIB) do you have waiting to be built?

My list is here along with why I bought them and the condition they are in now

Explorer-40- I learnt on this. It has a semisymmetrical wing and I did all the basic aerobatics except hovering and knife-edge on it, so I dont want to let it go. No engine currently
Phoenix Tiger-40- Second airplane, I was never comfortable with this. Have kept it as a cheap hack for a bad day and during end-of-monsoon-flying. With 55AX
Phoenix Topstar 60. Third airplane. Had a lot of issues with a 75AX inverted earlier. Now has a FS91SII. Lovely airplane but needs some repair everytime I fly
GP Reactor 46-70. Got it when I was frustrated by the 75AX on the Topstar and is very good. With a 55AX now
GP Ultrasport 40+ kit-built. Got it because I wanted to experiment with building. Thought it could do 3D but flys too fast. Kept it aside for future. No engine
Remaining in boxes:
Seagull Edge 540 46: Bought it as a sweet flying pattern airplane. May pass it on when I get the Showtime50
Another Phoenix Topstar 60. Got it at shop clearence at my LHS (Liked the Topstar that much)
GP Extra 300SP- I got it as scratch-&-dent
Phoenix Yak 54 60 size- Its a good 3D airplane and I got it it the same shop clearence as the second Topstar. Have another FS-91 for it
CMPro Quest 50- Its reputed to be a robust 3D airplane but has covering issues. Got a FS-72a for it as it has inverted mount and will paint it with clearcote when assembling it.
Am planning to get a H9 Showtime 50 when it becomes available (or on my birthday). Was planning to get the Funtana 125 but its too big and I dont have the engine and transport capacity.

I think that makes about 10 airplanes. Any more and my mom will throw me out along with the boxes

Kits take up Much less space than ARF's and can be hid under beds easier.....
