<span style=''font-size: larger''><span style=''font-family: Times New Roman''>I have been talking with Alan of YT INTERNATIONAL for sometime now. I first found the Swordfish at a Web site in the UK. YT is the UK distributor of ESM etc. Alan told me they expected to get their shippment around No. or Dec. The last I heard, he was thinking about a 50cc gas for her. He did say he would try to post his assembly and observations. Interesting thought. When I found the Swordfish [same one] on the UK web site, the price was 549.99 [pounds]. When I ran the currency conversion table it came out to be better than $800.00 USD's [before shipping]. I hate it when I screw up and forget to convert before I get all excited about a price in Pounds or Euro's, whatever. Then I convert and ''OUCH''! Sure wish they would come up with a price soon at a better USD price than that. It's like buying a Pig in a Poke. You have never seen the pig, you don't know what you are going to pay when you get him. But you still want that Pig. LOL</span></span>

Sadly, i wont be having one out of this batch, due to demand, they have to go to customers, ah well, there is always the next batch, as for motors, DL55?? BEHAVE, i fly a 96"Waco bipe on a Z62, with ample power, but, there is always the throttle stick, she is a slow flying, very agile machine full size, love to see what she can do in miniture,
