I guess you can stick a fork in it. As for me, I'd worry about getting parts after making the investment. Perhaps the Stinger could make a nice collector's item or display.

Tower bought them. I think they're culling the herd, I picked up a 94" Edge for $350, I think it normally went for $799.

Not bad since the kit was $35 and was a bit shy of hardware.
The Herr Lil Extra is still available for $65. I have one built and ready and
a another spare in the box..

The trouble with the Stinger 10 kit, is that you have to buy about another $100.00 worth of hardware, in addition to the needed radio and engine. That's a bit expensive for a 10 sized plane, but then again none of the 1/2A stuff is cheap.

I have this plane built and can say one thing for sure...it is the stoutest plane I ever bought. It is beefy and well built. I am buyig one more for sure to have as a back up. I have bought and built a lot of planes (arf's) and this one stands out. I guess some of you have had it or have it so you might now what I mean. Other than the odd sized servo openings this plane is great. I have a hobby shop at my disposal here so hardware is never an issue. I dont remember how the supplied hardware was. I usually use my own stuff regardless of the mfgr.
