I live in Windsor and actually work in Detroit. I commute across the border every day. So I didn't have to pay any extra.

I think the $300 price at GreatHobbies was a bit much. I can't figure out why there is still such a huge discrepancy in prices between US and Canada, given the dollars are so close in value (painfully obvious to me since I'm paid in USD). Either the Canadian importers are making a killing, or the US importers are losing their shirts, or somebody overseas is getting screwed.

Back when I had to order stuff from the US, I learned that shipping USPS was better. You don't get screwed for brokerage (which is BS).

I got things FASTER, and more conveniently (pickup, instead of the stupid notes "sorry we missed you"), and cheaper.

I'll try to get a weight, though that will be tough, since I don't have a scale.

I've got it loaded with Hitec 425's, except the throttle which is a F148 or something. I've often thought of using a mini servo for the throttle because of the weight savings. Is that stupid?

Last night when I hooked up the elevator, I found I didn't like the pushrods. I find the wire they use it too soft and bends easily. I'll probably replace it with a fiberglass ones. Stiffer and lighter.

I expect the weight to be light. It doens't seem to have much extra bulk anywhere. I just hope it's still strong. It doesn't feel "spindly", but it's not built like a Stick either.
