I got one on ebay a few months ago for $169 + $18 shipping.
Best deal I found. The guy has them on ebay all the time.

Great plane, kills the UCD's.... LOVE the FLIP!

I have a YS 63 that is a powerhouse engine and will use that. I saw a flip 3D fly with a YS 63. The combo is terrific.

I have a Saito .82 in mine... very nice power.
The YS .63 would be sweet as well!

I'm on my third one! I originally had a YS .52, but it didn't run consistently so I put a YS .63 in it and it is indeed awesome! $160 + ship is a really good price! Good Luck!

ps-
I have found that if you put in a little stiffer pushrods, the response is much better than the stock pushrods.

Also... instead of the flying wires in the stabs, i use CF rods joining the stabs to the fuse... works GREAT!

What did you use to attach the CF rods to the stab and fuse?

Ultimate glue. The expanding stuff.
(Gorilla glue)
just wipe it off the outside, and let it expand in the inside.

I've had 3 flips, and have done this on two of them.. never failed.

If you look closely at the stab on the top picture I posted you can see the rods.
