Default ARF's to Avoid??

I'm looking ahead to my second plane. Of course the H9, Great Planes, etc. dominate the ads. How about some of these other companies that, I guess are Chinese or Korean? I know that the Big 3 ship the kits to the East for assembly, so I assume these other company's quality would be similar. Also, the consensus at our field is one of the Stiks would be the best choice for a second plane. I know why they got the handle "ugly". Any "sexier" options available that would still fill the bill for a second plane?

If your looking for a high quality arf, SIG makes some very nice ones.


As far as what would make a good second plane for you, it depends on your interests and skills. My second plane was an extra 230.

Look at the "second planes" portion of this thread.

There are many good planes in that list to choose from. I would take a look at planes from Seagull rather than Vmar. The price is about the same but the planes are much better quality. [8D]
