I looked at one of those yesterday at the LHS... and have been thinking about it since. When you get right down to it, it makes more sense than anything else. About the only real drawback is the ChinaCote/shelf paper covering; but for less than a hundred bucks, what difference does that REALLY make?

There are some decent-looking trainers out there in web land, but one wonders just how much customer service is to be had from the vendors, if it should become necessary. If I buy this one from the LHS, he will handle any problems with the kit.

I have found ONE place that claims to have the Eagle ARF in stock. I'll call them in a bit here. If they don't have it, then I believe I'll go with this Tower Hobbies Special. The more I think about the Big Stik option, the more possible pitfalls come to mind.

Again, thanks to all.
