raideron - I wanted to try and get lucky and see if I can pick one up for around $30. I think the fact that they sell them new at Tower for $75 is crazy. I can buy a whole new one on their site for $100. What a rip!!! Although I do love tower prices and coupons.

Last year i hit our wind sock pole, it ripped the last foot off my wing, The rest of the wing unwound like a mummy on scooby doo as it spun to the ground. The tail section of my fuse broke off, but it was an easy fix. By the time i was done gluing and reinforcing the broken wing half I needed like three ounces of weight on the other wing tip. That much weight on the wing tip caused some pretty crazy flight characteritics. Right now i just have the U Can do so i may just spring for a new one.

Actually I think the Avistar is kind of like the Ultra Sick 40 in design. A guy at my field has one and let me fly it. I think the Avi has just a little more dihedral and the wing is a little higher. Its a really fun easy plane to fly.
