Well there are alot of guys on here who will tell you to stay away from them, and some who will tell you there new arfs are not bad. I have the extra 300 you are talking about. I got it for 170.00 here on RCU not put together. I have taken everything out and inspected it and looks like any other arf you would purchase. My covering was great no wrinkles at all, it seems to be a sticky type covering but have been told a low temp iron will get any wrinkles out of it. The wing area is a bit more than advertised in the manual. They do not include the fuselage just the wing halves there is a post on rcu about it you can do a search just type in GSP and you can get alot of info. Im going to power mine with a O.S. 1.60 fx. I am overall impressed with the arf just have to see what the weight comes out at. I have had a couple of the guys that fly gaint scale at the club look at it and say it looks fine and should fly great. take care mike lansford
