Just wanted to give an update to all those getting in on the club racing. Dave Hockaday tells me the planes should be here any day now. I think we have 13 confirmed racers on the list, and Dave says they ordered a few extras for those wishing they HAD ordered one! Keep checking with East RC to see if your plane has come in.
My reason for sending this out is in reference to the Thunder Tiger Pro 40 ABN motors some of us have got on the list for.. As many of you know, the motors were on back order from every distributor in the country! After several calls, Dave and East RC had put in an order with Hobby Lobby, who at the time offered the lowest price. They were advertising $76 while everyone else was $89.
To make a long story short, a couple of the distributors did get them in stock. Tower Hobbies, and Hobby Lobby. Problem is,,,,,,, once Hobby Lobby got them in stock, they decided they should be charging $99 instead of $76! So,,,, I'm looking at Tower Hobbies web-site and noticed theyhad DROPPED their price! They now have it for $84. I called Dave and let him know about the increase by HL, and decrease by TH. Dave contacted TH to see about getting a dealer discount but TH tells him they cant offer a discount on this particular item. So here is the deal. If you did want to run the Thunder Tiger Pro 40 ABN ( like most of us) you'll need to order it yourself
I would order it now while still have them in stock. Be sure and look at any discounts they offer for spending certain amounts. I saved an additional $15 for buying two engines. Hopefully the planes will be here this week, and many of us can be racing by next weekend.

Here is the Tower Hobby link http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXKF96&P=ML
from Tower Hobbies. Here's the part number and price. Stock NumberLXKF96 Retail Price‡
175.99
Tower's Low Price $84.99 Stock Status
In Stock
Hey guys,

We just confirmed that we ARE going to be able to carry the TT GP and
PRO series motors, in particular the TT Pro .40.
We will be buying them directly from ACE, the North American
Distributor for Thunder Tiger Products . ACE is currently closed for
inventory and will not be open again till' the 4th of January. Our
order with them will be processed at that time. Our price point should
be relative or the same as Tower's price.

Thats GREAT Chris!!! Get them bad boys on teh shelf so we can start racing!
I'll probably wind up with more than one engine. One for RDRC racing and one for road trips to compete at other races. Who am I fooling?? I'll most likely have two planes ready to race!!!
