Thanks, The one that says "F-16 is actually a US Aircore plane. Pretty decent flier in reality. Went like stink with a .61FX[>:]. The foam ones are CBM kits. Both are pretty scarce these days. There was a Fiberglass Fuse CBM copy in the marketplace for $200 pretty steep IMO but its a free market.

vicman: I accually prefer kits like my instructor and some others that have been in the hobby for a long long time. often times aircraft manufacturers use balsa blocks to mount the gear to and this simply will not do if you want a no hassle reliable aircraft.

It flew great with an MVVS .45 on front. The cowel was about .25 short and the instructions were a little vague about where to locate the rx and battery. But as far as flight is concerned... fast and straight... all you can ask for in a prop jet. As with all prop jet you need to keep speed up while flying. I tried to turn mine while slowing down to practice landing passes, bad idea. It needs speed to fly. Other wise an excellent plane I recomend it without reservation.

I love to fly my GP F14 (pic above). I was thinking about buying the Sportman aviation...but I am also thinking about the Kangke. Which one flys better SA or Kangke?
Thanks

I can bet "piper is aching for my reply on that one! Second plane? Not even. However i would consider a "stick" of sorts. Not much wing dihedral and although they resemble a trainer, they can get up some good speed but can have trainer like characteristics when you need them. There are also good second plane low wings which you can consider too.
Third plane could be can be some form of sport scale warbird or something in a .40 .60 size. Just a thought

] Also I must apologize some of these are not ARFs. The F-20s are from Kangke and Sportsman Aviation. I like both of them. Cermark has a new F-16 if you need one too.
