ARF advice

Any suggestions on which "fun to fly" low wing ARF would suit a 1.20 four stroke?
P.S. I'm not into retracts or serious 3D

You should take a look at a kit called ( 4- star 120 ) ---- not sure who put's it out , but it can be bought as a ARF .

Re: ARF advice

Sig 4*120 would be a great choice but hard to find. Any 60-90 size Stick would be good also but hard to find.

The Great Planes Escapade 90 would be fine

H9 Twist 60 would a great choice for the 120 to burn holes in the sky

http://www.greathobbies.com/producti...rod_id=HAN4210

There are a few choices out there but it is up to you what floats your boat.

You will LOVE the Hangar 9 Pulse 120.
http://www.horizonhobby.com/products...25-arf-HAN5170



Its big and is an amazing flier. Its so big and flies so smooth. Lands like a doll.
Assembly is merely bolting it together.

Mine is electric, but it can be made electric or nitro or gas. A 120 suits it perfectly.

Grosbeak on these forums has a gas version and did a couple of build threads on it here.

I strongly recommend it. You wont regret it.

Here is mine as an electric:

Re: ARF advice

I knew the Frenzy was out of build .... and now the Pulse (very similar .... from the pictures) too .... have a look at a SBACH OR MXS -> 30cc size (pretty much the equivelant of a 1.20) .... will provide you with lots of fun ..... 3d capable even though you're not interested .....
