not to knock the poster, link or company,but for another 275$ you can have a 3dhs or extreme flight 100cc and have a proven, competition capable machine, and have some superb support, warranty, parts and good hardware. 275$ really is not that much of a stretch from a generic entry level 100cc plane, the shipping savings on that does widen the gap a bit

Status: offline 		yeah
forgot we started out with 299$
whats another 8 hun??
I've got a peakmodels 50cc shipped free with a DLE 55 that was about the same as a bare ARF from EF or AW etc. but I consider it disposable as parts are likley non existent.
I did go over everything very thorough, it had no manual, but have put together dozens and dozens of planes.
It does fly superb, dare I say as nice as my EF Extra?
Maybe not, but I do think it was value, and I got a bit lucky, I have had other scary planes though , and a 100cc plane is a serious airborne responsibility.
