E-Flite is going to bring out a new 47" wing span balsa & Plywood Biplane in late October called the "Rhapsody" It is an ARF plane that will take the E-Flite Power 25 or Power 32 motors. It has a beautiful blue/gold/white color scheme. The video on the Horizon Hobby website is impressive. Guess I will have to find a part time night job dodging bullets at a liquor store to pay for all the toys that Horizon Hobby is fixing to throw on the market. Christmas ought to be good this year. www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=EFL4175#quickMM |

Just had a look. Not a bad looking plane. However, I lost my faith in E-Flite products after my disaster with the F-15. The whole plane was kinda crappy manufacturing.

That's a great looking plane scar. I have to agree with Gabe on the Eflite construction. I've seen many design/construction defects. They leave something to be desired when it comes to durability and do best with the very skilled pilots that have great flying fields than most of us do.  |

Yep, like 19k says, but Eflite's stuff is very nice looking.
The hardware is hit or miss, too. My Eflite Ultimate had a junk ESC and junk servo linkages. It lasted for two flights.
