Default Looking for a T-6 Texan II ARF preferably GLOW powered...

Does anyone have an opinion on who makes the best ARF of the T-6 Texan II??? I am thinking about one in the .40-.61 class...

Thanks
Josh

I haven't found anyone making an ARF or a kit of the T-6 Texan II. But I am converting a Seagull PC-9 ARF into a Texan. It won't be perfect but I'm at about 70% through the rebuild and it doesn't look too bad. Photos coming this weekend.

I have looked (online) at the VMAR ARF... But all of the reviews or searches I have done on here have been pretty negative as far as the quality of the ARF... I was hoping someone had found another company making one...[]

Stay away from the VMAR model. I bought one because at first glance it looked nice. After closer inspection i saw all the flaws, terrible wood, terrible hardware, not built straight, not glued properly. It came out heavy, and did not fly very nice. I lost it when it flicked when i did a loop. Never taught i would feel happy after crashing a model, with this one I did

Please excuse my english
