I was initially interested until I downloaded the assembly manual from Tower and took a good look. The plane looks like a 15 year old design, at least from an assembly viewpoint. The engineering is definitely not modern. Unless Tower actually has an updated design and a new manual, the price is WAY too high for the kind of ARF you're getting. The Manual was a mix of Chinese and sloppy English. Gives you a good idea. I'm a little surprised that Tower is selling this kind of ARF.

I was looking at the 90 size, also, due to tank placement it's really only practical for YS engines, unless you have a pump setup.
