I was in the process of ordering a ZLIN but the shipping was $37 for UPS ground from California to Rochester NY. My local hobby shop brings Hangar 9 and Great Planes airplanes in via UPS at the standard price which means I can get a H9 Twist 3D 60 or a Pulse 40 for the same money as the Zlin. But the Zlin is sooo cool looking !

The major distributors in Champaig Ill such as Tower and Horizon must have negotiated very very good rates with UPS. Maybe Nitroplanes did also and has hidden profit from shipping like so many internet businesses but they would sell more planes if they could get the shipping costs down.
