Ok after building my own for over 40 years I am thinking of getting an arf by world models,my question is where is the best place to buy for the best price.

This is the only on-line source that I know about:
http://www.airborne-models.com/index.asp

Somebody else may know where else to get them, but it is my understanding that the above link is the only U.S. supplier.
Personally, I have had good experience with the above.

Here is a better place because of free shipping over $125 spent. I have used them for years with no problems.

I guess as a last resort, you could buy through your local hobby shop, that's where I've be getting mine.....

The folks at http://www.rc-hobbies.com carry some of the World Models ARFs. If you don't see the one you're looking for, you might e-mail them. They should be able to get whatever you'd like.

I wish my local hobby store would get an account with Airborne Models, they only stock the usual Hobbico and Horizon merchandise.

I guess I'm fortunate here in Portland area. Both the best stores meet or beat the mailorder prices of most "Big name" kit manufacturer's. There only a few distributors that they won't deal with because of requirements of the distributors, but most kits / ARFs are available. Never have a hassel with follow up for damaged, missing parts of that sort of thing....
