Default RE: skyshark prices d...?

Treedog,
You didn't say which plane you are talking about, but I assume you are referring to the P-40 they put out. I took a look at that plane and I don't see what's so out of line with their price. It's a big plane, 82" wingspan, designed for a big motor (45cc -60cc). The price of $749 seems pretty reasonable for a plane that big. There are a lot expenses above the $749 for the plane. This plane doesn't come with any landing gear so you have to purchase retracts separately. Plus the cost of a gasser in that size range isn't going to be cheap either.

If you're interested in a P-40 ARF you might look at the [link=http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=HAN2850]Hanger 9 P-40[/link] . I recently did a review on that plane and I can tell you it's a pretty good plane. You can find the review [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/magazine/article_display.cfm?article_id=713]here[/link] . It runs $259 and that price includes the retracts too. It's designed for a 60 size 2-stroke. As I said in my review, it fliesm or like a sport plane than a warbird, but it looks very good in the air.
