Its been clear for a
while that the WindStar from ThunderTiger has been the outstanding ARF
"Gential Lady Wanna Be".
But now ACE RC has intro'd the new evolution
of it called the WindStar MK 2, They sell for $99 from your hobby shop or
direct.
These are not the clunky edged usuals, (neither was the
original) but the Mk2 has white Ultra Coat (Oracover to you Euro's), with
the wing and tail rib bays done in Transparent yellow.
What's
better about it compared to the S and E arfs? Well that's why some
guys subscribe to RC Soaring Digest Magazine... cuz they want the details.
In any case it doesn't matter why its the top arf (in my hubbled
opinion), none of them will stand up to a Duck launch :-) But its
pretty and has some added value. (in case you don't know what 'value'
means, it means getting a little more for your dollar than you thought you
would).
NO its not shown on ACE's webpage. If you are gonna get
an ARF to compete in St Louis, save up for a Mk2.
'and that's all
I have to say about that". Gordy
