Default I've seen 'em

We have a rep for them in our club. He brought the 60 Tucano to the last meeting. It's hard to believe you can get a plane like that for $300. It's painted, fuse, wings, & tail with polyurethane. With the motor and radio on-board - the fixed gear one weighs about 8 lbs.

I had a chance to get a good look and everything seems solid. The only real work you have to do is to epoxy the stab into the fuselage.

I'm going to try to meet up with our guythis weekend - he's supposed to have the stuff at the field for folks to test fly. I believe I'm going to be buying the retract-ready Tucano 60. There's talk they will have a 120 size Tucano for around $500. I'll be on that like a fat kid on a snickers.
