Default RE: Everything Radial Engines

It seems that all things eventually do come around full circle.... LOL

Back in the first few pages of this forum, there was the discussion of how if the Chinese entered the radial market, it would create some honest competition, etc.... I believe that the "JustEngines" link was also used there.

Please note, however that their prices are in Brittish pounds, so the ASP 400 radail is actually over USD$1500 (Way too high!).... More than a nice factory new Saito... (Or an OS FR5300 before the crazy 33% price hike).

I think that the prices in the UK are insane, anyway. A Saito FR5-300 in the UK costs £1338.95 as quoted by www.macgregor.co.uk. That about double the cost in the US as we will only pay USD$1,449 from Horizon Hobby.

I wonder what one might expect to pay for one in Germany or Sweden?

Edited....
Whoops! The £1338.95 price appears to be the retail price. Moormodels is selling them for £1,090.00 (better but still $700 more than in the US.....) Maybe because the US Dollar is so weak....
