Status: offline 		yes, Classics are gone, existing stuff has had the price jacked anywhwere from 22%to 50% overnight!  Eg. spitfire was $1090 now is $1640!  Yes, that's a 50% increase!

I just priced out replacement tires for my Hawk, CARF wanted $49 per tire plus shipping from Europe. Turns out, they're 4" Intarico tires available from Dreamworks or Shulman for $14ea!

When I suggested to "my rep"( whom I've bought 3 jets from in the last year) that the pricing on the tires was a little out of line, I was bluntly told "he doesn't set the pricing". Won't be anymore purchases from him for me.

Comp Arf has always provided great customer service and has been quick to answer questions via email.



I don't see the need to carry the classic versions anymore when the new Ultra series birds fly and look so much better.

Well, experiences may vary on that one. Comp arf customer service in my experience has fallen way way short.

Status: offline 		Sure would be nice if they still offered the classic flash, not like they dont already have the tooling. Personally I like the classic flash looks better, the Ultra Lightning looks better as a sport jet and flies oh so nice.
