Sorry, not those two. But I have built two .25 class OK EZ ARF's and generally found the quality to be quite good, if not exactly what you might build yourself from a kit... Supplied pushrod connectors were the cheap snap-together kind and were replaced, and I ended up not using the engine mount that came with one because it was cast quite abnormally. Overall fit and finish is pretty crisp, though.
Once the planes were together they flew just fine, one hit the deck pretty hard (nose first semi inverted at full throttle...oops)and had to be written off. The other I flew until the tires wore off and the weight of tape exceeded the weight of the engine (we fly around a lot of trees), rebuilt it, and am still happily flying it today.
I'd say that if you are willing to invest a little extra time and $ in the details you'll be pretty happy, the Dago and Voodoo are real nice looking planes.

Hi John and others,
Being in South-Africa I don't really have access to much info on this plane(Red Dago or voodoo) I am thinking about ordering one from overseas, but would like to have more info from guys that have assembled and flown these planes.
John did you get it, did you fly it, how does it fly, what's the quality like, does the retracts hold up? I'm suspicious of retracts, esp. factory installed coz i've never flown a plane with retracts, but my much more experienced clubmates seem to think they are pretty fragile.
Sorry about the long-winded post, still learning and english is definitely not my first language
Thanks in advance
Christie
