400 dollar lash
Anyone who got the spiderman whiplash paid the 400 dollars. I am one of them. I dont think that is unreasonable. But i wont pay 600 for a new spiderman plane. Perhaps this is what they were thinking with the pricing. Tap into that extra people were willing to pay. I bet they worked like dogs producing all those planes for little return. Now they need something to show for their efforts. So sell alot less planes and have alot less work and make more money. Basic economics.Still a great value.
To compare this to the Interceptor like previous post is only half the story. Sure the DF plane only cost 500 dollars to buy but are you going to hand launch and belly land that thing? What do the retracts, wheels, brakes,pneumatic hardware servos and valves run you? Probably more than two new whiplashes. Compare that to $0.00 for the lash.
As far as the DD goes..I need to heat gun prior to every day of flight. Major pain. What is my time worth?
