Ouch! For this price we get here a plane and a DL-50, which is not half bad an engine...

Everything in the UK is twice the price. If it is $100 it will be £100 over here. Strange that really.
Anywhay going to ring up and order one from the next shipment.

With all the video from the huckfest did anyone get some of this plane?? I know there are a few going around of the 40%, but thats a bit out of my budget. Maybe I missed something already stated but I was just curious.

It is similarly priced to the Yak and includes all quality usable hardware. I believe it also includes a matching pilot, although I am not 100% sure on that one. Trust me this Extra is worth the money

I don't believe there is any video of this plane... had engine issues on Sat and didn't fly until Sunday unfortunately. By then most of the ppl doing video had left.

I believe there is video of the plane in this thread from the UK though. I did get chance to fly it on Sunday and it flies very nice.. snaps well and flys very light. Doesn't blink between IMAC and 3D.

Chris's planes are AWESOME. However, would you pay $1026.49 for the kit alone? This is his point. The exchange rate should work in his favor, not against it! We can buy the plane for $650, which is closer to £320. Why is there a premium to import to the UK? I understand some of this is the VAT.

A lot of it is VAT, take that away and you've got a price of £425.54. and that is just UK VAT which is 17.5%. Go To Germany, you pay 19% or Sweden 25% it is a killer

You have to bear in mind overheads too, premises over here are 5-6 times higer then in the US not to mention income tax as well as the cost of living generally.

By the way shipping is free here in the UK too. Not sure what the minimum is for you guys out there but the kits come in three boxes one of which is classed as an oversized item which carries a surcharge. must be minimum $60-70

I would genuinly like to be able to bring the retail price down on these but I still i have to say that what you get for your money is pretty exceptional.

Anyway, that said I cant wait for you guys to get your hands on these, you'll love em.

While I understand your thought process... it doesn't work that way on anything really.

Look at Cars for example... when I moved from Canada to the US I thought cars would be less money because of the exchange rate which was 1.40 at that point. That wasn't the case at all.. cars where very similarly priced. Infact some GM cars were cheaper back in Canada than in the States. When I moved I was getting a decent raise but if I looked at it including the xchange it was a huge raise.. however you can't look at it that way because you (I) was getting paid in US dollars, but also was living and paying out US dollar.

If you look at a DA-50 they are like $850US or something crazy there.

I know, just wishful thinking! Suddenly $650 + shipping seems like quite a bargain.

I chuckle to myself when my friends complain about $3.20/gallon gas. I remember paying
CD$1.97/Litre when I visited my aunt and uncle in Victoria, BC about 10 years ago. That was about US$5.15/gallon at a time I was paying US$1.39/gallon.

Anyway, this hobby seems to be much more of an investment in the UK than here in the USA.

Yes we are paying £1 + a litre, so that is $2 a litre or about $7.60 a US Gallon - But glow fuel would be 4/5 times that so a gasser is still the way to go.

I remember when I was living in the States in the mid 90s it was about 70cents a gallon!
