Default Good ARF for Saito 30

Any suggestions for a good ARF to put a Saito 30 in? Thanks!

The Great Planes Super Sportster EP. It is perfect for the 30 four strokes, but you do have to beef up the firewall and add a fuel tank.

I have an OS.30FS in a Megatech Cub. It is a great flying aircraft. I think World Models also makes a /Cub in this size.

Probably the best kits would be the Great Planes Super Sportster 20 or the Goldberg Tiger 20 if you can find one. Great Planes has a TCraft available in this size and also the small Slowpoke.

Link didn't work. Did you perhaps mean [link=http://64.19.190.52/POLKS/itemdesc.asp?ic=PLK10080&eq=&Tp=]this one[/link]?

The Katana mini electric is a very nice conversion to .30 fourstroke. I flew it all last year with an OS .30 and it was a delight. Nitroplanes has a .30 size Yak that Richmond RC was closing out and I am currently building it for an OS .30 fs to break it in. Then both of the motors are going into a Nitroplanes OV-10 Bronco twin. On the Katana mini you will have to make a glow motor mount box, no big deal. On the Nitroplanes Yak it is already there. Also the Greatplanes combat warbirds work well and they are coming out with a Spitfire that even has the landing gear there from the get go. Adding gear is no big deal in aluminum. If you are not interested in ultimate speed the lanier shrikes fly very nice. They tend to be nose heavy though so plan on a weight box in the rear.

House of Balsa PT-19 would work with the Saito 30.

How about the Modeltech ME-109 http://hobbypeople.net/gallery/123610.asp ? While it wouldn't be a rocket, at 3.2 pounds, if the spec is to be believed, it seems a .30 four stroke should pull it around ok.

my vote is for the World Models Cub .26. I have an OS FS-30 in mine and LOVE it. put on some dubro scale wheels painted cub yellow and it looks great. it's small and convenient and i can transport it in my Mini Cooper S without taking it apart. sweet!
