very true im usinge the 110 can kit and not a burbble yet, fingers crossed!!!!!!

Looks like it was a complete price increase!

Maybe with everyone buying all the replacement parts, they had to up it.

LOL

actually, I bet there are spreading the overseas shipping cost to us now.......

DEAR HORIZON,

WE HAVE HAD TO DO SO MANY FIXES FOR YOUR KIT, NOW YOU RAISE THE PRICE ON A KIT THAT WAS SENT OUT SUB PAR?

AS MENTIONED EARLIER, WE TESTED YOUR PRODUCT AND FOUND ALL THE FLAWS. CAN YOU PLEASE JUSTIFY YOUR PRICE INCREASE????

They have just made their 33% and 35% uncompetively priced. $999 for a 33%, I don't think so. Not when I can get a Aero-Works 33% for $795.

I don't think thats a new price point for them If I remember correctly their 33% Edge used to be about that price WITHOUT ANY HARDWARE

I agree that price increase is a bad move.

I don't feel the quality of this plane is even at the $800 mark and it is definitely not worth a grand.

Especially with the new 85cc Aeroworks at $800 with just as good if not better hardware, certainly better build quality, same weight and very close in dimensions.

A grand would be the QQ 101 or even the EF 110, about $100 difference between them and totally different quality and both work with the 85.

On the bright side does this mean I can ask for more trying to sell mine used?

I agree they just priced themselves out of the 33 and 35% market.

Horizon is trying to make up money for all the replacement parts they had to ship out! ROFL...

I have already talked two guys from paying that much money... they are buying something else now...

I guess I can sell mine for more now?

No, they raised the prices on most of their planes. I wonder if they raised the dealer prices as well?

If not, the EF Yak at $1050 plus shipping is comparable, if not LESS after hardware, etc.

My guess is, however, many other companies will raise prices as well.
