But it's only because you guys didn't fly a Sky Raider to compare to it. The SIG is over $200, and the Sky Raider is $89.99. To some that makes a difference. I've flown both, the Sky Raider doesn't need coupling in a knife edge and doesn't float so much you are inclined to clip the wing. It's over rated. I like the BTE version much better.

Check out airbornes overstock section on the bottom right of the home page. A few super discounts in there that I buy from time to time.
A similar plane to the legendary Astro Hog 60 is the Emeraude 60 Super Sports. I have this arf and it's a super fast build, the construction is excellent, and the hinges are already installed, metal hinges, not CA. The tail bolts on, which I use for alignment and epoxy it. Very nice flier. It was on overstock for only $100, couldn't pass it up.
