Default H9 80" Cap 232 Pricing Update

Talked to a couple of my sources - looks like H9 is *not* discontinuing this bird. They've declared a short-term sale on them to compete with the runaway success that is the GP PW Extra 300 - and H9's dealers are loving it.

I've seen dealers selling these planes as low as $349, plus shipping!

Who has them that low? Last time I checked Chief, they were still the exorbitant price.

Chief is $389 and they give you a $50.00 gift certificate. You can order the plane for $389.00, then go back and order the hardware and save the $50.00 on that. It's like getting the plane for $339.00

I have all the hardware, but don't have the plane! For $349.00 I might consider getting one just in case...well you know...

Default Price drop

Ya now they drop the price. I wish I would have waited a little longer to buy my patty because now I want the Cap. So hint hint if anyone wants to trade their Hanger 9 80inch Cap 232 for my Patty please let me know. But it would have to be a local deal only or a 1 or 2 hour drive at the most. Thanks!

I'd love this plane, but isn't a one piece wing ridiculous for an 80" span?

Not really. There are many planes out there with a one piece 80" wing.

Going to try one of my ZDZ40 RVs in mine. I suspect that a good 44-50cc engine would be better, though.

My one piece H9 Edge wing is'nt as bad as i thought it would be and it's 78 inches. Will fit in a vehicle from the trunk if the rear seat pulls down.
I would definitly go with the ZDZ 50 or maybe a DA 50 would really be nice. They even have the new BME 50 thats super light coming out. They should all be rated around 33 pounds of thrust and up. So thats still a 2-1 power ratio. This bird should fit them really nice and fly 3d very well being a cap.
