Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

Remember when the TopFlite Gold Edition 60 size F4U Corsair came out and was almost instantly sold out? Tower had them at $399 right?

Well a couple of weeks ago, they cut the price to $299.

OK, today they're advertising them for $249.99.

If you look at the 'additional discount' list on Tower's website's front page, you'll notice you can get $30 off a $250 purchase. ~$210 for a $400 ARF ain't a bad deal is it?

And if you are a Tower Club member, you could get $50 off of $250, and shipping would be free.

I wish they'd cut the P47 price like that. And the Warhawk's price. And......

You must be coming home:D

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

Not just yet Larry but it wont be long. They are demobilizing us out to the base. They are planning on turning over to the Afghans. I just soon not be here when that happens. They will be handling the base security too. I will feel so safe and secure when that happens. NO THANKS!!! But it will be there when I get there though and I already have a OS 91 4stroke waiting on it. Now to find some retracts.
Hope your doing OK
Derrick

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

thats the price for a 60 size corsair kit......wow, I remember when they were 139.00 and the GSCorsair was that price. Hey man keep up the good work over there and be safe,

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

The thing about this , is reading the fine print:eek:

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

Dang! Couldn't resist. Pulled the trigger on it. I was tempted to when it was down to $299 before. Good thing I waited. Used the $50 off code (for club members) so just over $200 shipped. Very nice deal.

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

I'm happy for y'all. Eventhough it cost me almost $300 last week, it's kewl to see them going for $200.

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

At $250 I just could not pass it by. I have been looking at since it was first released and the $399 price just put me off. With $50 discount I got it for $200; that is half price!:D

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

Another thread about the price says it's an inventory reduction etc. It doesn't show up in the inventory reduction lists.

Heck, they've knocked the price down twice. Who knows what they'll do next.

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

I pulled the trigger on one this morning as well. A quality .60 size warbird Corsair for $220 just was too good to pass up. Plus I convinced my kids it was the perfect Christmas present! :)

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

During one of my club's Christmas party the other night, one of the biggest discussions was about the huge savings on this ARF.

Next summer is going to have blue skies for sure. It looks like a lot of Navy Blue is going to be in the sky, clouds or not.

It's interesting that we can get a Gold Edition level ARF for half price.

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

I wish I hadn't read this thread, now I have one on the way for $199.99! Need another Corsair like I need another hole in my head.

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

How do you guys feel about a RCGF 20cc gasser for this corsair? Ive got a new engine that is not mounted on a plane but Im seriously thinking about pulling the trigger for this corsair!! Thanks,John

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

how did you manage to get one for 199.99 ? just asking.

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

It's creative accounting.

If you're a Tower Club member, you can apply a second discount against your total purchase. The model is $249.99. To get a discount of right at $50, you'd have to purchase $250-$299 total. So he's got to buy the model and something else. He got $50 everything he bought, but figures the $50 against the $249.99 and nothing against the other stuff he bought.

If you're not a Tower Club member, you can still take $30 off your total order if it is $250-$299.99.

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

I posted the other thread about it probably being an unannounced inventory reduction, Tower does that occasionally so you have to browse the site regularly to catch some of them. Some time back a friend snagged a giant scale Corsair for $399.00...was on Tower's site at that price less than 8 hours.

Received a Tower email this morning announcing "Year End Sale"...the 60 Corsair is on it for $249.99. They may be clearing existing inventory as more may be on the water inbound. It is a great deal even if Corsairs are not your favorite warbird.

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

Man, at that price, it is tempting to get another for a spare.

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

Mine was $249.99 plus the gold member $50 discount = 199.99. Going to do this one in the RNAF scheme

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

I will be ordering one of these soon myself, I just can't pass it up for $200.00 so merry christmas to me lol...

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

Well, as of a few minutes ago me and a buddy of mine both have us a corsair coming, along with the cockpit kit :)
Merry Christmas to me!! LOL
John

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

I believe the GP Corsair 60 has a cockpit kit as standard. Did you order another?

Bruce

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

Bruce, this is the Top Flite model arf . I double checked just now and see no mention of it coming with a cockpit kit. Did I miss something? At any rate, I will have it just to have it :)

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

Sorry, I meant the TF Corsair 60 ARF.:D According to the manual it does come with a cockpit kit. See pages 26 and 27 of the manual. I also assembled the TF P-47 60 ARF and it too came with a cockpit kit.

Bruce

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

Bruce, I looked at the online manual and you are quite correct, it says it does come with the cockpit kit,..my apology to you. Hey, at least I'll have a spare to put into something else on down the road, right? ;)

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

John, I think the RCGF 20cc gasser will be a great engine for this bird....I KNOW a DLE20 is more than adequate. Now get back to work!

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

I just became a Tower club member but I have not recieved the member discount codes yet. I hope I get them soon.

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

Call them Tony....this plane isn't going to be around long....

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

I did and they would not give me the code on the phone. They told me I had to wait until the marketing team sends out an email.

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

Try these codes. I think they are the same for everyone and they are good until the end of December. <div>

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

Thanks for the thread guys, I just placed an order for the Corsair!! Great price with the member discount it would be wise to get something else to get it pass the .01 and get the $50.00(Reg. member).
Mines came out to $203.00 shipped!

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

It' s Christmas time and they are having a sale on selected items. If you are a tower member you should have received an email with a $60 discount off for $300 order good till 12/31. I am so tempted now its not even funny. I also have the $50 off coupon so if I place an order for the plane and add a few props to hit 300 then place a 2nd order for a DLE 20 and a servo or 2 then use the 50 off. Guys? help me! Guys?? http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/js/f...ey/msn/lol.gif

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

LOL Rapture, you KNOW you want it!! :) Go ahead and hit the buy it button before they get gone and get you one coming your way... you deserve it!! Everybody needs a corsair.....
Thats what I told myself anyway yesterday when I bought mine :)

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

You want US TO HELP YOU??!!! ok..........

BUY IT BEFORE SOMEONE ELSE DOES!

THEY PROBABLY ARE RUNNING OUT OF THEM AS WE SPEAK !

HAVE YOU NOTICED HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE READ THIS THREAD AND probably snuck off quietly and bought one or two? THEY WON'T LAST LONG AT THAT PRICE!!!!!

? enough help ?

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

come on home and bring all your guys&gals with you.
That being said remember robarts have electric retracts now, that's got to be the way to go if ypu can afford them

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

Don't you just hate it when that happens? I bought the TF Cessna 182this spring anda week later they dropped the price by $50. I hope they drop the price on the TF P51 now before the end of the month.

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

I think you mean Corsair size 2.1, not .60 size. In any case, I get the bad feeling that this is only going in one direction, and that is when all of there kits are gone the only thing you will be able to buy from them will be ARF'S. It's really A shame that this Hobby is going in that direction, with so few of the new people in the hobby not getting the true experience and gratitude of building and flying their own creation.

RE: Have you seen the latest price on the TF Corsair?
 

CRAP...!!! Damn it, I have 42 New In Box ARF's. I bought a storage building to store them in and it is "Freaking FULL"... Damn It, I need that Corsair....!!!! Damn it, Damn It, Damn It....
