A friend and i thinking of ordering it too from Towerhobbies. The shipment costs as much as the plane. :P (Shipping two of them with some accesories costs about 34 bucks :P) We already fly RC Planes (only for a year though) and we hope to be able to have a taste of CL flying with these thingies. It's quite 'cheap' so it's worth the try, especially since i've read some positive reactions in this thread

It looks pretty crash proof too, concidering this picture



Leaves me with one question, how to break-in these little engines?

There should be instructions with the engine. They will run best on a fairly oily fuel with 15 or more % nitro. Break in is basically one moderately rich run, then go fly. You do need a good hot battery.
