2016 ARFs

[Michael]

Robert Pike, well-known master builder, who is always extolling the virtues of built-up models, recently succumbed and confessed to me about a new ARF he bought, so I thought a new thread to share images of our new ARFs might be appropriate.

I just finished assembling two ARFs for this summer.

I bought an E-Flite Shoestring racer a few months ago, and just finished it. It has the E-Flight power-25 brushless system. Although I usually shy away from fast models, I've been told this model is very stable, so I look forward to joining in on those impromptu and unofficial EF1 races at TEMAC.

I also bought the new 1.2 meter E-Flite P51D Mustang with flaps and retracts (both included and installed).

The rumours are true.  Here's a picture on the ice.  Sorry about the light level, but you've all seen this particular ARF before 

Hint...  It's the Flyzone Beaver... the newer, red, silver, and white one like what Michael has.   It's such a great looking and flying plane that can fly from water and snow, and only required about an hour of assembly.  I flew it from the ice last sunday, before sunset

Wow, that's an amazing picture Rob!

  I would have taken the picture before sunset.  I like the red and green lights though.

Good thing we've "all seen this particular ARF(?) before  " ! Photo hardly does it justice!

Couldn't help it, I bought/built another one!

I had the guts from an E-Flite Splendor (6-cell system), and stuffed them into a Hangar 9 Pulse XT (70" wingspan).

Very nice!
