RE: Top Flite AT6 ARF

Sorry Dick, I was looking at it the wrong way!!!![:o]! Other wise no spring or rod would work.

RE: Top Flite AT6 ARF

From Shanghi China???? May be too good to be true. I didn't check the shipping??? Unless they have a USA warehouse it may take a while and cost$$$$
But for $68.00 it may be worth a chance?

RE: Top Flite AT6 ARF

Try an Auto Paint store that does custom painting. They matched a couple of model paint jobs for me that were perfect matches for about $10.00 for a 3 oz jar. It is a lacquer however, Volitile???
