'Planes of this size and flight characteristics are a little ahead of the novice pilot (not to say you are, but many who bought this plane were). '

I would take the above comment as advice well given. It's not worth it over one customer. We sometimes respectfully decline selling our products and service to a customer when we know that we can not satisfy them - even when we bent over backwards.

I bought a Creek Edge 540 at my LHS. I examined it thoroughly and could not believe that I only paid $219 for it (tax excluded). I traded it (with some cash) for a kit built Balsa Nova 120. The man I traded it with spared no expense/time to build his BN 120. I am sure he would not have made the trade with me if he did not see the quality in the Edge. He also was offered my already assembled DP Ultimate 120. He chose to go with the Edge (wasn't sure he wanted a bipe).
