To be fair I suspect the importers/distributors are whacking their prices up by a huge amount so the LHS can only pass those increases on or go broke (I suspect many will go broke anyway).

Who knows... if this keeps up, we might have to go back to building our own planes from scratch like we used to do in the old days.

Gosh, the only planes in the club that aren't ARFs are some of mine (and they were from a kit).

My how times change.
