So you're saying that because there is a waiting list the Alpha 4 is better and worth 260.00 more then the hobbico.??
I've found that alot of items we use in this hobby are borrowed from other applications and repackaged and marked up then sold at incredible prices examples adhesives and the small machine screws we use also fiber class cloth and resin
I was just interested in finding out what components make the TNC some better which justifies the cost.
How many people buy poleyster resin from the hobby store when NAPA , Wheels etc sell it for a fraction of the cost??
I don't mind paying a premium for specilaty items but when you can goto a industrial supply outlet and buy 100 4-40 machines screws for under 10.00 it gets annoying when the Hobby stores try to sell 4 for 3.00
