A good friend of mine is searching for the above mentioned but has been unsuccsessful so far. He´s looking for a kit or ARTF of around 3 to 3.5m suitable for electric propulsion. He has looked at the Aeronaut model of around 2.8m but considers it to be too heavy. Likewise with reference to a Mick Reeves model I believe. He would consider a plan build if there was something suitable that could be laser cut or similar. This is a sort of holy grail search for him so I´m hoping that some of the many experienced and knowledgable forumites can help me out. Thanks in advance. Steve.

I´ve had this ARTF sitting around for years. A recent operation left me housebound so I put it together to pass the time. -

SW, No, it´s not a full size airfield, it´s my club´s airfield. The longer runway is 200m long. See photos. -

I agree too! I´ve used them occasionally and never had a single problem with orders or customer service. Probably helps that I live in Mainland europe though. -

Bought some months ago, but life, a few minor health problems and work delayed getting it fully ready to fly. Now waiting on the weather for the maiden. -
Very interesting responses here. This event took place at my club some 5 months ago in collaboration with a club from Barcelona; it was the second such event and is going to be repeated again later this year. Pilots come from all over Spain, many from France and some even further afield in Europe. The club directors have a very selective approach to safety which many of us ordinary members find frustrating and downright irresponsible. Several of the "Junta" frequently fly behind the flight line, don´t follow basic safety routines and often take off and fly without warning, sometimes flying over other club members in the process. On the flip side, If any of us "ordinary" members commit a minor club infringement we are heavily berated and warned. Also, many of the select few bring their dogs and let them roam all over the place, including onto the flight area. When we complain they will secure the dogs for a while only to let them loose again the following weekend. Additionally, they fail to clean up the mess that their dogs make. Many of us would leave and join another club but there is nowhere else to fly locally. It´s such a shame because the club facilities are very good.

Apologies, I posted the Kobuz video here by mistake.

I don´t have a clue Paul. Sorry. It´s not my model and I don´t know the pilot personally.
