HK is bad in that it has a lot of my damn money... and I have a lot of their damn stuff... I think I went overboard

Hand has made the hobby VERY VERY affordable for the middle class salary world wide, not just NA and Europe middle class either.

For example ... you can "splurge" and get a 5ft PNP sport jet that's pretty fast and reliable it's 500 skins shipped... a 5 hour build and you're up in the air having fun...

97% of the 12348124pn orders I have with them have worked from the start...

And still people seriously think it's a rip off. I rather see a $700 price tag and it would have descent servos/drivetrain/struts. Now when I buy it I have to rip out the servos and buy Tamjets struts for another $300 in total. But I'm still happy :)
