Hello Matthew,

I'm home sick with the flu so I'm probably the only person on RCU on NY eve. $160 is a lot of money to pay for this little plane but it is certainly a lot of fun! You will have to decide if it's worth the money by comparing it to your other choices. One reason we like it is because you can buy another one for replacement parts for a 100 bucks. This is not true in your case. They do have a problem with breaking in the middle if landed hard. You may want to look at some fiber glass reinforcement in the weak areas. I personally replaced the landing gear with wire ones to absorb some of the impact. Why does it cost so much? Shipping?
