Default RE: Scoop! Hangar 9 Phoenix 7...ARF!!!

The release of ARFs of collector kits does bring down the monetary value of the originals. Frankly I think some of the prices of kits have gone out of control. But sometimes, you just gotta have it! A few years back I won a Goldberg Skylark for just above $250. That was about the going price. Then came the ARF and the originals were selling for half that in a matter of a couple months. I'm still happy with my kit, since I planned to build it and not invest into it.

Yeah, a light evening or two should be able to get all the Ultracoat (?) off, maybe a couple little details like fillets too.

The P-7 ARF is one hell of an awesome treat. I'm really glad tha Mike didn't go for the boxy nose like the Tower Kaos. I think that makes the plane!
