RE: The COME-BACK of x2 GP's ARF's
I was one of the people who pestered Great Planes to come back with the Stuka about 2 to 3 years ago. That was before ESM had their Stuka version on the market. KMP I think had them, but to me I felt they were way over priced.
To this day I have pestered Great Planes to come back out with the .60 Fokker DR1, because even with a few bad designs ( like the landing gear and CA Hinges for the rudder ) I feel that Great Planes had the best ARF Fokker DR1 on the market.
A used GP .60 Fokker DR1 is a collectors item, and still there is a good demand for them.
It is logical for GP to come back with these planes, but I agree that the Stuka is way over priced, I can get the ESM Stuka for less and is far better in the scale and detail department. JMHO
The P6 E is a collectors item like the Fokker DR1 and Ryan NYP ARF. I don't mind paying the money if no one else has a better model of these planes on the market.
I won't be buying the P6 E or Stuka, but I would buy the Fokker DR1 and or Ryan NYP if GP decided come back with these planes. [8D]
