Eww... that kind of discount normally only happens before something gets discontinued. They sold a lot of Venus II ARFs at $219.99 before raising the prices back up, though, so maybe the Skybolt ARF will still be around for a while.
In any event, thanks for the tip Pilgrim!

Let's hope that is not the case with the Skybolt. Mine is probably my favorite airplane. I have a spare fuselage and tail section in the closet, just need wings and hardware to make a complete plane. I think I might gather the rest of those parts... just in case.

I just checked to see what it would take to buy wings and miscelaneous pieces to complete my spare skybolt and I might as well just buy the complete ARF using a discount coupon. The cost isn't much more.

That should help elaborate on MinnFlyer's opinion.

Yep, great job on the review! If anyone wasn't sold before, that should remove any doubt. I wanted one when they came out, but could not justify it. When they raised the price a while back, I figured it really was not meant to be. Since my wife didn't know what to buy me for Christmas, I suggested the Skybolt. Too good of a deal to pass up!

Yeah it is a great flying plane, I have a mag .91 4s in mine.
I crashed it and ordered another, then fixed the old one up and am flying it so I have a spare. Cost 300 though.
