 |  Peak model?
Anyone know anything about them? They've got a few 70" planes with a 26cc engine combo for $500 that actually look pretty nice. www.peakmodel.com |

JeeUm, planes look cool, but that 26cc motor is the same motor I have, and its marginal at best. Planes look sweet though, In fact they have the velox or what ever it is for like $50 cheaper then the original guys who were selling it. But I don't know... I'm not going to be the Guinea pig this time!

I was wodering about that also. I mean for $500 its a risky investment but that is one hell of a deal if its a good plane and motor. Id have to fly one and see that motor in perosn to be the judge of that and the ngo and buy one. come-on Sleepy..buy the plane and tell us what you think of it.

| Re: Peak model?
Guys the motor is a DOG... I'm warning you. Its light, and 26cc's but it SUCKS. I have one... had it since march. Was going to put it into a 73" qq yak.... decided against it... It might be OK in a funtana, but still I bet performance would be margional! Planes look GOOD.. motor I would avoid! My 2 cents! In fact if anyone wants to try the motor, you can have mine for $200 shipped!

Ok even better! Buy it from guys in the US, or at least surrounding areas!  But wasn't it like $279 or something a little while back? I know I saw that price somewhere!

I've bought a fair bit of stuff from them (DL50, JR9XII, props, spinners, a Katana EP, etc) and so have several guys in our club. They seem to do a good job at delivering decent products for reasonable prices. | ||||||||||||||||||
