Airborne models

Model Airplane News, Feb 2000

Everywhere you look, the ARF phenomenon is exploding. Here's a company that is not only going to offer a very broad range of ARFs but is also apparently taking the level of completion to a new high: for example, its .46 2-stroke/. 70 4-stroke-size Curtiss P-40. Even the rotating retracts are installed; I do believe that's a first.

As of this writing, AirBorne's line of hand-covered balsa ARFs includes subjects such as P-39; Zero; P-82 twin Mustang; Super Chipmunk; and this 73-inch-- wingspan Breitling CAP, held here by the lovely Carly Kong.

All these "kits" include details such as painted fiberglass cowls and pilot figures. The big CAP would surely make a nice Valentine's Day gift-especially from Carly! Call for prices.
