I don't have the electric, but I can comment on the new glow ARF. I probably have 30-40 flights on mine with a la .25. It flies very well... I had never had a Ringmaster, and I have had a blast with it. The controls work good and haven't fallen apart like my ARF vector lead outs did. On the downside, the fuselage is not shaped... Just left square. And the covering is no better than the old arf's. It is peeling up all over. Yours might do better, no fuel residue. I wish I had just bought the kit, which I will end up doing after this one falls apart. I am finishing up a Brodak Shark 402, and it is one of the best kits I ever built.
