Status: offline 		This little plane is a thing of beauty and I have a feeling it's going to be another home run for Parkzone/Hobbyzone much like the Challenger, Stryker, Mustang, and the list goes on. Great thing about their birds is the parts are cheap and found on most store shelves, so you could buy the body parts without electronics and throw your own in fairly cheaply. I might, or I'll hot wire a clone out. Somebody needs to measure the thing and post the numbers so I can clone it.

I wish I would have seen this price before I pre-ordered, $164.98 instead of $219.99!

Wow. The prices on their website are almost too good to be true. Does anyone have any experiences with them to report?

Status: offline 		Should be a good plane! Z foam is now being used quite a lot thanks to the absolute PUNISHMENT the original stryker could take when they made the fuse Z foam. Fairly stiff, extremely glueable stuff. Brushless, 480 to boot. Should be a real powerhouse combined with the Lipo! AND FINALLY!!! A PARKZONE PLANE WITH LANDING GEAR!!!!

I love Horizon's RTF branches (Parkzone, Hobbyzone, some Eflite) because they always seem to give us what we want in their next aircraft. The 2.4ghz in the CX2 was awesome and now the new Micro Cessna will have it too. Great company. I work at my LHS and I'll try and get the official ETA on this bird.

Status: offline 		Yup... Pushed back again. I'm hating it just as much as you guys are. Especially if you live somewhere that you cant fly in the "off season" due to weather. We can fly pretty much year round here in Sacramento CA, but its alot less appealing in the colder temps and wind. Hopefully they will make the release in time for colder ares to still fly it this year!!

Status: offline 		I don't know whats going on this summer but I got my E-flite p-38 in the beginning of june and i just got my speed controlers last week. they were ordered at the same time !!! There seems to be a problem gettining the parts out or the demand for electronics for rc airplanes has just gotten too great. I have been waiting for my Trojan to come in too and I hear the same release date as being the 20th of august. SIX DAYS TO GO !!!! CAN'T WAIT !!!!

Thanks!

Status: offline 		I really hate to say this but, I'm going to get my money back, if they delay the release of this aircraft again. I pre-ordered it way back in june and I'm starting to loose my feeling for buying it.
