The model does come with Carbon Wing and Stab tubes but to help reduce initial cost to our customers we did not include the Carbon Main Gear. We have many customers that would rather be able to purchase the plane at a lower initial price point then buy the carbon accessories later a little at a time.

Madinpensacola post is correct:
“Based upon all of the interviews I've read or watched, the intent was to make more things "optional" so as to keep the base price lower for those that don't appreciate all the upgrades. Carbon gear and lots else is on their "options" menu. Makes sense to me. Even with the carbon gear and SFGs it's still retailing around $1300 which is a fair price I think.”


If you take advantage of the pre-order $100.00 discount that makes the plane around $1200….

I'm on Jeff's "list".

There are multiple threads on this airplane, but this one is the biggest so I'll post here.

I talked to Rocco today, and a dock worker strike in FL has thrown a major monkey wrench into their shipping schedules. The container with the 120cc Freestyle planes has been floating off the harbor for 5 weeks, along with two other containers that were shipped later are being held up. So, they are hoping beginning of Feb we can get our planes!

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to update everyone as to the status of incoming inventory. I am sure you have noticed that several of our items are temporarily unavailable and that due dates on those items have been moved back several times. Unfortunately the Los Angeles and Long Beach Ports are having the worst shipping crisis in a decade. I have attached a few articles that explain why this is happening.

I assure you I am as frustrated as you are. I have several containers on the water and am waiting for them to clear the ports. I will continue to update you on the status of those containers as I receive the information. I appreciate your patience until they can get this problem under control.

Thank you,
Rocco
