I am looking for a good quickee 500 plane. there isnt alot of pylon events out here so it will be mainly a really fast fun flyer. an affordable kit would be nice too. please any info would help.

A good starter would be the Great Planes Viper - Q-500. At approx 100 Mph, pretty competitive plane for the money in 424. ARF , builds real quick with V-Tail. $119.00. I have one and I am getting back into Q-500 as well, Equipped with T.Tiger .40 and Hitesc Supreme 8 Rec. With Hitec Hs-225 Nylon gears all around and on the throttle HS-81. Good set up.
Have fun.......

I would start with one of the ARFS also for your first. If you want to build, look at www.supertrc.com

i found the lanier predator kit is this a good kit it looks really nice. and im not going to race but i was thinkin about a mvvs .40 with a tuned pipe. ide like to see speeds of 120 or more. i already have a hopped up stryker runnin around 100mph. would that engine / plane combo acheive these kind of speeds.

The newer predator II kits from Tower are pretty good, so is the Great Planes Viper. Some like one, some like the other, plenty written about each one on this site so do a little searching. Both have areas that could use a little help so a little research will go a long way.
I am not famaliar with that engine, but with the stock OS .46 AX engine and a sport 10x7 most guys can go 120 mph with the Predator or Viper.
