Which ARF? 100"+
I am looking for an arf. Something 100" wingspan or larger would be preferred but not necessary. I already have an 80" WM Extra so it must be larger than that.
Quality is my primary concern.
Apperance is second.
But I would like something to install a DA 100 or a 3w-100 into.
I want something pre covered. No painting other than maybe the cowl and wheel pants.
Something sport and 3D capable.
ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Only one way to go ... Composite-ARF Extra 330LX. If you don't want to paint you'll pay ~ 1200 bucks for a top of the line aerobat capable of anything in the book with a DA-100 and good quality servos.

The H9 Cap is as capable as it gets - as is the new Sukhoi - by H9 - I am getting one of the new Wild Hare 300 also - The composite models are also very nice - but the differences seen will really be in the setup and the pilot.

I have seen the H9 Cap and Sukhoi fly. The Shukhoi is much nicer and does better 3D.

I have flown all three H9 33% aerobats and recommend any of them for your DA-100 etc. I have the Extra and it is my favorite of the three probably because I set it up the way I want, but the Suk and Cap were set up well and I enjoyed flying them too. The Cap is ridiculously easy to hover, the Sukhoi has huge elevators to allow wild blenders, walls, etc, and the Extra is my favorite for precision work. All three do great Harriers with minimal - no wing rock and have large surfaces for good control at slow speeds. The Extra required no mixing for a straight knife edge, while the Cap and Sukhoi required some up elevator for straight knife edge. My pick of the three is the Extra, though the Cap and Sukhoi appear to be constructed better.

Yes -Ryan - I got a lot of "talk" from a fellow who claimed the Sukhoi would not do the 3D stuff and he should know ---
kinda a surprise to me ----another opinion---
I did three different EXTRAS last ones using their fuselage and my flying surfaces - -the wings were exactly the shape used on the Sukhoi -as a co incidence.
As good a flyer as any big $$$$ ARF
and much lighter .
I am now about to setup one of the new Wild Hare 300 models - I also did one of the 202 models -which is very good .
The new import ARFS are just getting better and better -
