Default RE: Horizon Hobby Scam

I have only had one Hangar 9 plane, a Twist 40 a long time ago and it was $99 (list was $119, but the LHS sold things cheap) when I bought it. Now, its listed on Horizon Hobby for $179.99, which in my mind is absolutely ridiculous.

Seeing as I just wrecked a plane and I am now in the market for an ARF, I was shopping earlier on HorizonHobby.com to see what they had, and I will not be buying a Hanger 9 plane at those prices. I don't know of many people who will pay some of the prices they are listing for their planes. I will not buy a Hanger 9 ARF unless the prices go down.

Regarding the 4*60 price, its listed as an ARF for $214 on tower, and the pulse XT60 is $249 on HH. I would be more willing to buy a 4*60 at that price considering that sig's kits are usually anywhere from cheap to reasonably priced and their ARFs are (at least to me) a little bit expensive, but I know how heavily built they are so $214 for a 4*60 ARF is not bad if you think about how much you have into it in kit form.
