RE: Beware of Horizon Hobby

Before we totally bash the O.P., lets get the facts straight. Obviously something isn't adding up, but that could simply be due to inadequate explaination thus far. My biggest question for the OP...

RE: An ARF Nation

RE: An ARF Nation

RE: An ARF Nation

I like spending time with my son more than building airplanes. Is that a sign of moral decay? Therefore I choose to buy arf's rather than sit in the shop for the entire winter. I don't need people...

RE: New 35cc Extra 300 QB!!!!!!!!!

I have no experience with the spe 43, but I can tell you that mounting the DL50 was very easy using the 2 inch standoffs. The DL50 should have quite a bit more power as well. The only thing is that...
