I received the World Models electric powered Zero as a Christmas gift last year (Thanx Mom and Dad! ) The biggest selling point for this model is the fact that it is a scale looking Zero and the fact that it has retracts. I had seen the model at the local hobby shop several times and opened the box then to check it out. I was pretty impressed with the way the model looked and stated to my father who was standing right next to me at the time how great it would be to own this model!   I believe the Zero at the time was running around $130 at the stores I saw it in.

The Great Planes Fokker D.VII ElectriFly ARF has been out a few years now but it still seems to be a pretty popular model. I bought The D.VII and my father bought the Great Planes SE.5. If I remember rightly, I paid just over a hundred dollars for the model when I bought it but I think the price has come down a little on it now.

As stated by Parkzone this is the completely reengineered F-27Q Stryker. Most of the stores I have seen it in are selling it for around $185. I never flew the orginal Stryker but was told by several people that have that the original was a decent model but nothing to write home about. The new and improved Stryker however is!  

The Speedo Pro Mark II Thermo Glider is the advanced version of the R Hobbies Speedie Glider. The model price was just under $100. This is my first experience with a R Hobbies product and I am pretty impressed with the quality of the model so far.

This is the new Carl Goldberg Sophisticated Lady being Re-released as an ARF by Great Planes. It is a 78" Thermal Glider that can be launched by a high start or used as a light wind Sailplane. The ARF kit runs between $100-$110 purchase price depending on where you buy it.
