Rick, Go with the Fox!! You won't regret it. Superb kit quality, excellent flight characteristics, and yes, it will indeed thermal. It is a delight on the slopes, with excellent aerobatic capabilities, and looks very, very scale up there. I have even aerotowed mine (behind a quarter-scale Wilga--talk about a mismatch!) These things are becoming very popular lately, and with good reason. Better bang for the buck you cannot find.

Not being either rich or a scale fanatic, I'm looking for something inexpensive and fun to fly. (Yes I realize using "scale" and "inexpensive" in the same sentence is self contradictory.) Currently the Icare Mini Salto and the Gerasis Fox 2m look attractive. Both are $200 which is about as high as I want to go. Reading the ads it looks like the Salto is probably the better kit while the Fox is larger and somewhat better looking. I doubt either thermals very well but both look like they should be airobatic. Any feedback on these or other candidates? I'm most interested in how they fly, kit quality, construction difficulties, and anything else I should know but was too stupid to ask.
