Back to the Vote for best ARF ,
I would have to vote for the TEOSAWKI, although it is really a ready to fly ( RTF), all you add is the engine and tank, already predrilled for the LA46/ FP , even supplied the mounting bolts and engine offset wedges.
If you get one , it will improve your flying. They fly well, but are really easy to teach you how to make trim changes and how changes afffect the model. I think the light weight , overpowered , flapless model is some of the reasons for it's ability to fly so well.
Not to mention the support we get from Clayton Smith on setting up the plane for competition and helping with fixing any problems when they arrise , usually after a mishap with the ground.
Forgot to mention how tough the model is , seems it will take a hit better than any stunt plane around ( Combat Heritage) . This alone will rank it higher than most other ARF models on the market for durability , You can get in that necessary second flight most of the time .
I usually practice with mine when the wind is unflyable for other models , absolute minimum side area , low weight , big engine , no flaps makes it fun to fly cross wind and even in to the wind at times . Just to get you ready for the contest that requires you to fly off of the downwind side of the circle
Just my thoughts,
Will
