RE: Carf Flash and Lightning is gone
yes, Classics are gone, existing stuff has had the price jacked anywhwere from 22%to 50% overnight! Eg. spitfire was $1090 now is $1640! Yes, that's a 50% increase!
I just priced out replacement tires for my Hawk, CARF wanted $49 per tire plus shipping from Europe. Turns out, they're 4" Intarico tires available from Dreamworks or Shulman for $14ea!
When I suggested to "my rep"( whom I've bought 3 jets from in the last year) that the pricing on the tires was a little out of line, I was bluntly told "he doesn't set the pricing". Won't be anymore purchases from him for me.

With a price boost i would hope for some newer colors, or color swaps without the high premium. Especially for color swaps with colors they already have.

I don't see the need to carry the classic versions anymore when the new Ultra series birds fly and look so much better.

Sure would be nice if they still offered the classic flash, not like they dont already have the tooling. Personally I like the classic flash looks better, the Ultra Lightning looks better as a sport jet and flies oh so nice.
