Thanks guys, we are having a swap next month that everyone is excited about so I am definitely checking that out for some deals. I got my trainer off craigslist and got a great deal for the whole set-up and the plane has been good to me. I also pay attention to other for sale places too looking for good deals. I am kicking myself because I came across a GP stick already done up for a great price and I didn't jump on it when I had the chance but hindsight is 20/20 and at the time I didn't know what I wanted to go into next.

I am just wondering at when I build my dream planes how I can save money on that to lower the cost instead of paying full retail price. I figure the community has its way to get deals too.
