It's more than just the dollar being weak. Fuel prices are still outrageous and that affects everything.

I know I may catch some flak for this but I still think $269 for an airplane that is built, covered and includes all of the necessary hardware is a pretty good deal especially when you factor in all of the development cost, packaging, marketing, transportation, warehousing and so on. If somebody asked me to design, build and cover a .40 size plane then sell it to them for $269, I would laugh at them.

Don't get me wrong of course. I hate price increases too and it will definitely affect how much I buy this year.
