I agree with you, except mine was the best $104 I have spent (had a $5 off Tower coupon). I powered mine with a Rossi .45 and pipe, very groovy and fast, anywhere from wild to mild. The presence of the large wing platform always gets everyones attention. It does dissappear quickly, I put checkerboarding on the leading edge and down the solid part of the fuse and across the elevons. Helped some, but you still can not take your eye off it. Wish it came w/o covering.
