I am looking for a good ARF kit to test our BME .90 engine in. Was thinking of a Piper Cub or something similar and easy to fly. I dont know which kits in that size are good and which to stay away from. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

This is one of the ARF's that I am currently looking at going with if I get a response back from BME on their ST 90 gas conversion engine.... http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=HAN2350 Scott | ||||||||||||||||||

Tom a couple of ratings from RCU Goldberg Decathlon - 60 love it.Always had a thing for the decathalons,finally a sharp arf hit the market.Very nice build job.Covering is a 12 out of 10.Flies great,knife edge passes just off the deck are too cool.Inverted flight is hands off.Super airplane. Goldberg Decathlon - 60 Decathlon.great flyng machine. well worth the money. Goldberg Decathlon - 60 Decathlon 60 ARF.Great flight characterisitcs. Stick the landing everytime. Only took 6 hours to put it together. Saito 120 on it, perfect and unlimited vertical. Goldberg Decathlon - 60 My Review.I wanted to take this opportunity to indulge the readers of this forum with a report on the Goldberg Decathlon ARF. It is the sister to the T-Craft and the Citabria. Assembly: The assembly went flawlessly. Nicely assembled, includes painted Fiberglass cowl and wheel pants. Very well layed out instructions with many photos. It took about 8 hours of dedicated time to assembly this beauty. All in all, I would give this ARF a A+ for fit, finish, and flight characteristics. And an A for design and componets used. Maintenance and Repair can be kind of tricky, especially when the windows are installed. Getting big hands in the cockpit can sometimes be a little frustrating
