What ARF do you think was the 'best' (in your humble opinion) for the year 2002?

I'd like to do a poll, but don't know which models to include - there were so many....

So what's your choice?

Mine is the H9 P-51....gottttttta love that one!

Kyosho Majestic. Most honest, well-built plane I have ever owned or flown. Coming from a guy who really prides himself in his kit-built planes, I think that's saying a lot.

I totally agree.

I had the chance in May of '02 to fly a 33% H9 Cap. Unbelievable!
Had to have one. Got mine in November.

Hold your wheel chocks........the BIG Hangar 9 Cessna 182 at 94"ws isn't avalable yet, but remains to be seen.

Ah, but it never came out in 2002! :D

Actually, if I were to vote a close second, I think the UCD3D has set the sport flying world on fire, making it easy for the average Joe to start flying aerobatic maneuvers that were never dreamed of only a few years ago. On top of that, it lands slower than your trainer and comes at a very attractive price. The biggest downgrade with this plane though is its name ;) . Seriously though, I'm still going with the Majestic, but the UCD is a very high honorable mention in my book.

Didn't Majestic win ARF of the year in 2001? Didn't DPM Ultimate win ARF of the year in 2002?

Was this in MAN? I saw something about the DP on their site about it being in MAN, but I've just come back from a couple year hiatus and haven't seen much recently about the Majestic. Who knows, if it gains popularity it may be best in 2003, at least in a user opinion poll like this.

Wait a minute, if we are going to do this, it has to be done in prices ranges. Not alot of us want to spend the money for a 33% plane. So:

100.00..... The Magic
200.00..... The U Can Do
300.00..... ????
400.00..... WM Extra 300

Hey Stomper:

Billy Hell is going to give it to you if he finds you're not flying a profile! Or did you leave the wheel pants off to make it narrower? Haw.

Yes, I know, he recently got a conventional plane too. So I suppose you're safe.

Some people like profiles, I just give them a patronizing smile.

I think the SIG Rascal 40 is one of the best ARF's out there....Great covering, excellent flight charactaristics, lots of flying time with a SAITO 56. :p
