Thanks to Lorne and his staff I received the EF 83" MXS today. It's a very large plane for its class but the powerhouse DA-35 will pull it with ease!

I must say Ex. Flight is one of the best built and covered ARF's I've seen. Zero wrinkles and a much better designed fuse. It's built light but very well planned and all the joints are actually glued. The aluminum landing gear plates are strong enough to take a little bit of abuse, not pieces of tin foil with bolt holes in it. Paint on the cowl is very, very good and it's huge. It could house a good sized twin.....hmmm I have a 3W-56 twin that might work!

All in all I think EF could be the best on the market. For sure I'll be looking at a larger one from Ex. Flight

Darn cool that we have a Hobby Shop that goes to the effort to bring these fine products in.....Thx Pro-RC!!

Wing tube broke from the looks of it. Was coming in for a low flyby and bye-bye wing. Just blew apart in the air. Never see it happen before pretty cool.

what would make the wing tube fail?

Well.. no Jay's game for me . I don't think Mrs. Neighbour realized the importance of the game. Jen got a text last night that she may go. Kinda saw the writing on the wall at that point, LOL.

Anyways, has been confirmed this AM that she is going. Worst of all... Jen signed us up to babysit their kids, LOL.

Good news is I don't have to spend crazy $$ on beer, LOL.

Ya Trevor it's huge. Hoping to fly it yet this fall.

Never had an ARF with such great covering and also a crystal clear canopy which I've never seen other than from Dennis!!

Sucks about the Jays tickets....that would've been a great game to see.

Scott...best avatar ever!!!

Well worth the wait Jack. We opened a branch in Dawson Creek, so if I get up that way may have to stop at the hut.
