I just placed my order for an Art Tech Diamond 2500 through NitroPlanes. I had carefully considered three sailplanes, all trough NitroPlanes, before making my choice, the Masala kit with its 11 1/2 foot wingspan, sorry out of stock,, the Airfield Giant arf with its 2.4 meter wing span, which really didn't look like a traditional sailplane, and of course the Diamond 2500 rtf with its 2.5 meter wingspan. Obviously the Diamond won out. It fit my budget nicely, had a good wingspan and apparent light wing loading, will be easy to assemble, and had the ability to upgrade with flaps. After I get a few flights on her, I intend to replace the TX and RX with a Spectrum DX6i and 6 channel RX. I am also thinking that flaps would be beneficial on this big ol' girl. I am hoping my Diamond gets here sometime in the next 10 days. I will gets some pictures and, if I am lucky, maybe some video.
I wish to thank everyone who helped me with my decision making.
P.S.
I haven't completely written off the Masala and if I had the space to build it, the OLyIII has got me salivating.
