Default Who makes a good ARF for the BME ST.90?

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....

Tom I had a Golberg Decatlon with a Supertiger .90 a few years back and it flew great plus easy to fly yet very aerobatic and it's IMAA legal which would make a great showcase for yom BME Supertiger .90 Gas conversion.Going to the US today to pick up my BME 58 Thanks Brian

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
