Pretty & Tough

Model Airplane News, Jul 1998 by Chianelli, Chris

new company with a new and different line has hit the shores of America. The company is ARC, and the two models you see here are the Jupiter (low wing) and the Ready. These kits feature Quick Made System technology for fast assembly and are molded from a special type of ABC called "HPT." At the Toledo Show, I watched a video of the Ready being crashed repeatedly-and hard-and surviving with only a broken prop or a cracked spinner. The stuff really does seem to hold up.

As you can see, the molding process does allow some attractive detail in the model's surface. Specs for both the Jupiter and Ready: wingspan-61.8 inches; wing area604 square inches; weight--.17 pounds; engine-.40 to .53 2-stroke. For more information, contact Falcon Trading Co., P.O.
