Default RE: Seb Art Trainer

I just got a response from the email on the site for the SharkS:

"For the 50 dollars is for the pre order ; the price list is 219.99 dollars only the ARF no servos motors ecc.
Please contact me for all the question's
Regards
Luigi"

Guess that answers the question..... That's AWEFULLY steep for a basically "unknown" plane with no real-world field testing or ideas on the quality of it's build.... For all I know, the tail could snap off after a "less than perfect" landing! I can live with that out of a $70-$120 ARF, it's just a fact of life that cheaper usually means "less sturdy". But $220? I'd be REALLY cranked off if this happened. And btw, I added up the "recommended" accessories to get it flying and you can pretty much add an EXTRA $150+ for the motor, prop, servos, LiPo, and ESC that pushes this little bird to $370+ and that ain't chicken scratch! (again, ESPECIALLY for an "unknown" plane of unknown quality of build.... this thing could be put together by Chinese slave labor for all I know! and for $370 I WANT TOP SHELF STUFF without a SINGLE seam or "loose fitting" part!)
