Default Best 40 size ARF pc9

I would like to know what are the better pc9's to buy and manufacturer for them, because i can only find seagull who make them. So any other nitro ones you know of please say and if you own a pc9 just say what they are like or photos please.

I've had PC9's from 2 different Manufacturers - Seagull (3 of them) and V-mar (1 of them)
I think the V-mar is a bit closer to true scale but it didn'e fly as well as the Seagull ones did (or do).

The Seagull one is a great all round flyer. - I ran OS 46AX's in all of them.

I am on my second seagull power with 46ax / 11x5 apc. It's an excellent flier. There will always be one in my hanger.

I had the Seagull PC9 and I used an OS .46AX with a APC 10x8 prop. With this prop the plane would go vertical unlimited. I know that Phoenix models makes one and Tower Hobbies carries them. I do not have any experience with them, only the Seagull.

One thing to be aware of is mine crashed in a dive due to elevator flutter, so replace the stock clevises with metal ones and make sure the push rods have no play in them. Other than that, the plane is a great flyer.
