RE: Big jump in kit prices at Tower
Just compare the prices on their products.
A 60 size stick plane for $199, tricycle landing gear
Value Hobbies sells a very similar one for $88, tail dragger
I have this plane and it is of very good quality, flies great.
Tower has a good quality, no doubt. And there are many people buying nothing but their products.
They are a good source for odd spare parts, hope they'll survive for some time.
