I don't want to get off topic because there is a separate thread on the form for opinions on this kit, see link; however since I started the thread then I guess why not....[X(]

The Boomerang Intro, or "Baby" as some call it, has been recently reduced in price ($600). And that, IMO, is just the icing on the cake that makes the "Almost 150" a superfluous, pointless exercise.
It is interesting to see the market making adjustments; I wonder if these
"Adjustments" would be being made without these "Junkers"
Ah the beauty of Free Enterprise.....
So I think there are at least three advantages to the Almost 150 and similar offerings:
1) It keeps vender's and manufactures on their toes and just maybe offer a superior product for a better price.
2) It provides individuals who like to modify and change things a chance to do their thing and show off their creatism. I don't know about anyone else here however I don't have the time to lay up a fiberglass design to make a great looking aircraft (god bless those who can, I sure wish I could); however I sure do have the time to take a good looking model and modify it to make a airworthy design.
3) It provides the "OTHERS" something to complain about.
Now back to the previously scheduled thread, lets get this thing modified and flying.
Thud_Drive you have the helm....
