You've got to love the semi scale little beast.

Here is the one I used for my L1 cert.

Very nice.

The Strong ARM is one of my favorite models. I should build one as I have several of them still in the box but the nightmares from having decalled the original prototype still haunt me. :rolleyes: :eek:
 
Love it. On a Kosdon H155 fast, nice little motor. Those AT's look great on the G65 DH as well if you like it 'dirty' !!
My son is wishing for this and a Warthog to add to his fleet.

Love the choice of colors.

The H155 was my cert motor of choice ;)

Flew it on an H97 last weekend and the fin broke upon landing as the chute didn't fully deploy
 
OK. Call me clueless but I have a dumb question.

Is the Strong Arm a scale model or military styled original design?

It's a semi scale kit of the Standard ARM. The fins are just modified, and everything else is...well...semi scale.

It is a military styled original design (I had to do something with all those IQSY Tomahawk fins laying around the shop :D :rolleyes: ). It's a modified version of a model created when I worked at Enertek.

Thanks for the info.

I was asking because I was trying to figure if it belonged in its own AT section of in the scale section. I moved it to SCALE since it seemed to be a semiscale of a real design. Is that an accurate placement?

The AeroTech Strong ARM kit is scale-like but it is not a scale or semi-scale model. It's a sport model.
