Default RE: Another Burrito

You're right, there has not been much Sledge talk. I'm not a profile marketing expert but it has to be a tough sell to get people to pay $110 for a kit when there are good ARFs out there for a few dollars more. I started scratch building a Sledge over a year ago, but stopped after I finished the wing. I need to finish it up. I want to either mount the servos for the rudder and elevator in the tail or use some type of control linkage other than the pull-pull that comes with the kit.

According to Morris' website, the Sledge kit is their #2 seller, right behind the Knife ARF. It sure looks like a Sledge ARF would be a hot item, especially if they could get the price in the $150 range.
