yes i do,

It's an alright plane, pretty damn good even but it's a cheap flying toy when you compare it to a Katana MD, let alone a PA 260 which is even more evolved (more pre-assembly done and airfoiled tail feathers)

Bottom line is if it's too expensive for you don't buy it...

but again... comparably sized planes are all very similarly priced (do NOT compare this to a eflite 260 or a mini funtana X as they are not even remotely similar)

as for the electronics; any plane you choose even the eflites are going to need servos like hs65's = same cost, 2100 packs= same cost 35A esc= same cost... it's also going to need a rx, and the motors are almost the same price too (thrust 30 vs park 480 for instance the overall difference is only a few bucks.

Yes markup is high on all arfs. but who do you think marks up by more? a 179.99 fliton AJ extra or a 189.99 PA extra with all the carbon and complex design?
