Vector 40 kit, a great value
« on: January 25, 2008, 05:40:25 AM »
I just got a Vector 40 kit. What a bargain. Around a hundred bucks (or less, $79 on S and S stunt!) for a full laser cut kit. Full of classy hardware, like carbon push rods and nice aluminum landing gear with axles, even some carbon mesh for reinforcement. Beautiful laser cut parts. My, my. Get away from the ARFs for a minute. Take a look at this value. Build this kit right and boogie for years.

I second everything Dennis says. I have mine about 2/3 built.  No mention was made of the included instruction manual.  It is excellent and gives all the techniques needed to sucessfully build a competitive stunt plane. Anyone who likes the way their ARF Vector (or any ARF for that matter) ought to try building this one.  You will be surprised how well it goes together and might even enjoy the process S?P   Yes, pictures will be forthcoming.

It's a great flying airplane too!  A three time Nat's Champion (Jr. Sr. and Advanced?) airplane in the hands of a formerly young North Alabamian, Dondi Garrison.  I wish he'd get back into flying!  It would be fun to watch him and Derek flying patterns back to back!

I suspect Dondi is doing what we were doing at his age...Chasing Chippies!

Great kid! Both of them and Gruber too...

Wouldn't that be a match! Garrison, Barry, and Gruber...
