It's a very complete kit for a little more than the RC.

Best Aerobatic Model For IMAC
Lately I'm going crazy because there are soooooo many great planes! And, there's so many used great planes, too! I think that's why I haven't been working on my AW 33% ARF. Not that it won't be a good plane... but my mind is just racing with all the possibilities! I was this close to buying a 33% FC last month... I would have had it by now... I'm sorta regretting not going that route. Maybe my RC 40% will be so good it will keep me from straying? I know... not a chance. :-)
Currently... I still think the H9 33% CAP is the best ARF in the world. At least I'm settled on that one fact... for the moment. :-)

If I could afford the FC extra I'd have it now too..

Keep us informed on the RC!! When you supposed to get it?
I probably don't even have to ask about what motor will be in it...
Have you ever built a plane from a kit?

I saw that cartoon... it was one of the best ones. :-)
You think I might use a DA-150? I'm sending my check off for it on Monday. :-) Plane might be here in two weeks! :-)
I haven't built a kit... but I'm getting the urge and want to build the 40% Carden Edge. I think I should build a warm up kit... any ideas?
BTW... there are some people voting for the Edge for IMAC. :spinnyeye

Hi guys, interesting comments on the new big arfs. good reading, anyhow does radiocraft have a website? Also does Kange have any of the Laser 2000's out in your area? Phoned the nearest Canadian dealer about it today but nothing on the shelf and no word as to when. Thanks, keep up the banter, sure makes the time pass up here! Sterling

Won't Kangke sell to you directly up there like they do for us down here?

I didn't call Kangke direct because shipping for me is a real nightmare with oversize boxes. Especially after last fall. Unfortunately where I live if I can't get it shipped via Greyhound I'm better off to wait until my crew and I go on holiday. I'd rather let the hobby shop handle customs etc. And yes Chris its the one with all the stars, happen to like the looks! I know all my taste is in my mouth, but I'm a sucker for blue, add some stars and I'm there!! Sterling

Kangke Laser
Saw this at Doug's in Waldorf, MD
It looks better "in person"

Building and finishing is not up to quality of the H-9 ARF kits.

The AW edge would give you plenty of experience sheeting foam. You'll need it...On the carden you have to sheet the belly, turtle deck, hatch, wings, and the tail surfaces.
The place where the AW is easier is in the fuse. It is basically 1/8 ply sides and some laser cut formers. The Carden is a sheeted truss design.
The instructions with the AW are so-so...and expect you have prior building experience. With I little help I'd say you should be able to complete it. You seem like one who is up to a challenge.
