Status: offline 		I don't know how all of you feel about the trend these days towards higher and higher priced foamies but I've decided not ot buy any of them. I really like the FlyFly big Mig-29 and even the big Sapac Gripen but I won't be buying them unless they offer a real NPS package just like GWS does. I don't want cheap electronics and transmitters. If we stop buying them they just might stop forcing them on us.

Here's a link to a rant on the subject: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=867666

Probably something along the lines of

"There's a sucker born every minute?
