EasySport46

Hi all. I have built kits, scratch and ARFs, and like all in different moods. *** What do you think is the most ready to go RF out of the box? ***

I know Avistars and Superstars come very complete, but are there others? I am assembling a Tower Kaos now. The ailierons come disconnected, and it takes some serious time to get them on correctly. I'm asking about planes 0.60 size and below.


PS - GP EasySport40 is a GREAT kit. I am building my THIRD one now, they are THAT good.

Are you talking about RTF or ARF? They are very different. If you are talking about RTF then the Multiplex Easy Star literally takes 10 minutes to assemble and fly. You put everything together with just double sided tape. The wing joins together like 2 big puzzle pieces, control horns are already installed, you just adjust them and your off. It takes longer if you want to be careful with the stickers and paint the canopy black. But for sure, by the time the battery is done charging (20 minutes) you should be ready to go.

In all of the ARFs that I have reviewed, I would have to say that the Midwest Aerobat had to be the simplest out-of-the-box-and-into-the-air plane so far.

The two fastest ARF,s I put together WM sky raider mach 2 it came prehinged and the Hanger 9 utrastick went the fastest for me.

All of the great planes ARF are OK.

Another vote for the Midwest Aerobat here. It's about as pre-built as an ARF can be. It's a great looking and fun to fly plane also.

tower 40 trainer arf is pretty good,
you only need to snap on the tail feathers and glue the hinges

The SIG Something Extra is very quick to assemble. That's why it's $200 I would guess.

Another vote for the H9 US60. Would have been quicker but I bashed the rudder and elevator servos into the tail.
Need to get another to replace the one that went in inverted...

The World Models Mach 1 trainer is the fastest "building" ARF I've ever done and has many features the novice would not notice.
There are only 4 parts to glue...
The wing halves, small piece of ply for the aileron servo, stick behind the fuel tank and the tail skid.
Bolt-on tail is self aligning.
$69.95 40 - 50 size

I found the U-Can-Do 46 to be pretty close to being finished out of the box. The wing is already assembled, and beyond that, it's just the aelerons, elevator, and rudder. The hardest part is matching the cowl openings to the engine you choose, but I found it quite easy to assemble.

I have one of these planes in the mail right now. What's so difficult about mounting/hinging the ailerons as opposed to any other plane that requires this to be done? Is there something different about this particular plane?

Just wondering,

Dont know from the ARF but I built one from a kit and nothing odd comes to mind about the ailerons. They do need to be centered between the center trailing edge and the wingtips but other than that...
