I have the Escapade also, only because I bought it for $70 off scratch and dent http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTS1000p?&C=A and used a $10 off coupon, so $60 shipped. It was missing a tail wheel and needed wrinkles ironed out. I made a tail skid. So take a look at those ways to save money and choose an ARF for a lot less money than being rigid on one certain model at full price.
