S&S, the reason I didn't replace my first one, isn't because i didn't love the way it flew. It was out of protest regarding the fantastic graphics on the plane that were absolutely notorious for fading in the sunlight. Some of the white parts turned yellow. Some stayed white. Despite dozens of well documented complaints, Horizon didn't think enough of the problem to lift a finger regarding it. So though one was it for me, it was great flying, sturdy, and was incredibly light weight. Way ahead of it's time that way - which is just now being duplicated! Mine was 10.5lbs all up with a DLE30 and a full compliment of 150oz metal gear servos.
John - I'll stop by the local Office Max in the next few days to pick up a mailing tube. Have some other errands to run as well. Will send USPS and holler then with what it cost me. PayPal is fine... -Al
