Yes, Dieter at Shredair is selling the V.I.P., although I don't think he has a lot left.
A quality plane and the details are first rate.
Not as fast as a Sokol, due to the wing platform and cord of the wing, but a very nice flier..quick enough, I am not knocking it.
Since a Stinger is really the fastest thing out there, everything else is just handeling, and I have been impressed with the Sokols I have.
One is a speed400, 5.5x5.5 prop, easy to launch, very stable on landing aproach, no bad habits.
With the Aveox 1005/3 and 7 500(red) cells, it goes a bit faster than the S400 version, but I only get abut 2 minutes at full power, how I always fly it.
Setting up a D99 ow with a Hacker B40 on 7-2400, since I have a bunch of those packs , zaped and matched..should be fun.
Also, trying to get people here in the Northwest to start racing s400 pylon, not having a lot of success.....
