I'm gotten as far as I can with my US-60. Now I need to save up the $$ for the OS-75 before I can finish her up.

TH has posted a price reduction of 10 bucks and moved up the estimated arrival date to late June for the US 60. RC Ken, you are absolutely right, the manufacturers must follow these forums very closely!!

When Mike and I attended Toledo this year we had reps from the big companies "quote" things that both of us had said here on RCU!!!! Just goes to show you that they do watch RCU VERY closely!!!!

Status: offline 		Hey guys I have just put an Ultra Sport 1000 Kit on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=260257061636

It is a new in the box kit. I’m selling it for the family of a club member that passed away. Also I have a ultra sport 60 size the is all framed up with retracts in it. The tail is almost covered. I do not have the canopy, plans or the instructions but it is ready to finish covering. I would like to sale it locally as shipping would be a bear.

Will they ever get in?

Status: offline 		A new and limited run of the Ultra Sport .60 is now being offered by Tower Hobbies for $139. I ordered mine yesterday, 07-15-08. Better not wait. It's my second one of these models. My first was flown for nearly 10 years and then I sold it at a swap meet. I missed it so much I had to have another. They're that good!
