What is up with Accels' pricing? You can get the Kat .70 at 5.5 lbs for $199 and they want $239 for the Pitts at 4.5 lbs. Is it a bipe thing? You can get the OMP Ultimate kit for $150 and free shipping.

When will you all be stocking the Pitts Dion? Have a price in the forecast? This is one I might have to try.

Yea Dion, will you stock it? And if you price it at $199, I might buy it.

The 40 bipe, as of now, is more expensive than the 70 Kat, yes. It is also a 1300+ square inch wing(s). The Kat 70 is 900somethin' The prototype Pitts was flown successfully with several engines, including the Saito 91, which was balanced with onboard gear. The Pitts ARF is a plane that can sit in a crossover category. Yes, a strong 46 will do it, as will your Saito 72s. It also is a size that will allow it to be flown on a Saito 82 or 91.
As for the OMP Ultimate, it's a kit. My understanding is that it is an extremely well executed one, but a kit none the less.
So, anyway, Dion, when can we see the Pitts in stock there? Are you guys gonna match the Accel price, or can you shave a buck or two off? It is a pretty plane...

Are you promoting the Pitts or something? Sorry, I mean no harm, but to pay $40 more for a plane that is 1lbs less in materials just does not make sinse to me. My .02 [] I could be very much wrong.....

Not promoting, I've never seen one, except for pics of the proto. I'm just answering the question why it is priced higher. Two wings, larger area, more colors... Maybe your "bipe thing" observation is accurate too. Labor cost maybe? I dunno. Maybe someone else can explain it better.

RE: accel hobbies PITTS PROFILE!
Bipes seem to run more in general. Your looking at 2 wings. If you figure the time it takes you to build a plane wings/fuse then turn around an build another wing then cover it etc etc You can start to see where the etc dollars come from. Look at it this way your giving some chinese guy a few more hours work.
Im anxious to see how the bipe will 3D. Bipes are notoriously bad 3Ders, or should I say have some bad habits. If it 3Ds well it should be a real winner!
If the bipe has 1300 sq of wing like TT said it really is a big plane too. Almost a .60 size plane that will give good performance on a stout .46
Cmon Dion you cant pick up a few of them for us to try?[sm=confused.gif]
