Default 2 ARF's-$50 ea) Shipping-$187

ARGHHHHH! Yep, that's right. Just bought a couple of Jaguar ARF's for $50 ea., but the shipping from Taiwan is going to be $187!!

Didn't really have a choice, as the US distributor (Horizon) doesn't carry that model. They only carry 3 of the SF brand.

When I finally found these were still available, I had to have another. Heck, I didn't even crash my first one.....

Merry Christmas FedEx!

Here's the one I ordered (camo), the other one (red/white/blue) is the one I had a few years back.
(they have both in ARF form)

Awesome flying. I had an OS 61 FX in it, but may opt for a Jett 50 in this one. (No retracts, however)

With all the planes available today, you're going to pay $237 for THAT?

To each their own I guess.

Dennis,

Yes, for "THAT", or "them" in this case....... $50 EACH (I ordered 2 of them) and $187 to ship'em. No tax, but I did have to pay $35 to wire transfer the money. So, the total for the 2 planes is $322, or $161 ea.....about the same as most 40 size ARF's here.

I always knew that if you want speed, you need to pay the "piper." You know if you have the urge to do that again, maybe you can order a few for your reliable RCU buddies and split the shipping fees?

Airgar,
Yeah, $161 each. Not so bad when you think about it. I had just woke up (or not), and didn't read your post carefully enough.

Have you seen the Magnum? Similar style with estimated top speed with a tuned pipe in the 200 mph area.

Dennis,

Funny you should mention the Magnum. The Jaguar I used to have, AND the Magnum I used to have, were both demolished by the same person.....my Nephew.

I have another Magnum NIB, but just too many other things going on right now.

You know, that may be a new marketing tool that we don't know about. Sell "shipping" as an item and throw in the planes for free![X(] Heck it worked on you!!!

I woulda taken one and paid some shipping...

You have all the cool projects!

Does this "nephew" really exist? I mean you blame him for all the crashes and I have never seen both of you in the same place at the same time...Hmmm
