When you add the complete hardware package in, I think it falls right in the price point for aircraft in the 33 to 35% range.
Tank I would disagree on this. Look at Pilot-RC which comes with all carbon for $849, TT planes in the 33% range can be had for under $700 or Aeroworks 33% planes. All are equiped with high grade materials and are hundreds less. The only thing this has for it is if you want a Cap. Great Planes makes very nice planes and there built like a rock and will take some abuse, but I bet they lower the price or get stuck with a bunch of Caps!
