Update,
After spending a week mulling over this, I decided to buy a H9 P7. Simply put, I needed a SPA legal bird ready to fly this spring. And this bird will allow me to add CPA as an option. Also, the P7 is a very nice plane.
I cannot believe it, I chose function over looks (this is a beautiful bird). Must be getting old.
I even told (not ask) momma that I was buying a new plane. Yes, I am getting the silent treatment, will probably last a week...but maybe my ears will stop ringing.
