Cheap, light, made from super durable, easy to fix EPP, handles up to 2200 batteries, comes with most of the carbon fiber already installed. Add a 100g motor, some cheap metal gear servos, a 45a ESC and start building stick time. Awesome 3D trainer....

If you're looking for an ARF, get the Sabre 47 from Value Hobby. It makes a great flying electric conversion.

Or are you looking for a kit?

i was after an arf, but i did score this weekend at the local hobby store a honger9 tribute 36 arf for 110.00, done some research on the tribute and it looks like a good conversion to.

Hate to bust yer bubble but the Tribute is not what we would call a "Bro" approved slab by any stretch! Take a visit to the p r o f i l e b r o t h e r h o o d site an be enlightened! If not, you can always fly the Tribute as a typical CJ may.

I just recently completed a tower hobbies fun 51 kit. It's a hoot to fly, tons of fun also. I fly an OS .46 LA engine, plenty of power for me, if flying 3D, I'd up the power a ways, but for sport flying it's just great. My first profile plane, and I absolutely love this plane. Have about ten flights on it to date. Best $59.00 I ever spent on a kit.
