I wondered if the $208.50 I paid was too high but I wasn't sure of the value and wanted the kit. To build and fly, not collect. The kit was being sold by Isoldit and while they shipped in a couple days, I had to call to pay and find out if it had been shipped. For some reason they are bad about replying. I have bought some Bridi kits from Sheldon on Ebay but figure what I paid was not much different than the retail price a few years ago. Another one came up from another seller just after that and it wound up going for $207.50 so I guess they worth that. Pic is my old Trainermaster built back in 1980, sweet flying airplane.
