Looks sweet!

[topflight36]

yeah it looks good but would you guys buy it if I got a few. I am figure the price to be around the $500 mark plus shipping maybe. I will have to see what type of deal I can get.

I would suggest a deposit program in this type of market first. So you don't get stuck with a bunch of planes.

[topflight36]

Thanks sweetpea for that idea. If I get people that want it I will take deposits. Like you said I dont want to get stuck with a bunch of airframes.

For $500 bucks I'd probably get one (still up to parents though).

The 230 is truly a very nice plane. A long time ago I had a Godfrey 230 and it was great for the time. With the advent of 3d it became obsolete due to scale sized flight surfaces so it was retired. Doing one in composite with larger flight surfaces would be a nice model to see at the fields.

I'm with T.O.M. I had a 230 in 33% and would still have it I reckon if the gravity God had not demanded sacrifice. It had a fiberglass fuse and weighed 24lbs with stock G-62.

This plane looks more like a 260 to me but what do I really know ? I like it ! 260's are my fav-o-rite and have been since I got into this a while back. Note screen name.

And $500 for a 94 inch composit plane is SUPER. Get it here before I buy my 33% 260 and ya got a customer. After, well, I'm building back UP not down. Until I get back to at least 33% I am on the hunt.

Ok guys I will see about getting a few of these shipped in. I just need to know who all would like one so I can get a firm price on these planes. If you are seriously intrested send me a Pm. I will get you guys some more pictures.

I tried to look at it on the web site previously posted but it sucks. Reason is not much in the way of specs on your post. Wing area, weight etc.

The plane I am looking to get is $650 shipped. Decided to get it as soon as life quits happening and I can free up $650 in Hobby Cash. Worry about the engine later because airframes keep going up while engines prices are stable. Meanwhile the wife has been unable to work for three weeks and counting. Life is what it is !

Don't get them on my account that is for sure.

That's a great looking little bird. Did i miss something? How is the company who makes these? And top flight....what's your connection? If it's composite , i wonder what the all up weight would be? I know i have seen some CMP and nitro models arfs that have came in weighing like a brick! I might be interested in one of these if i can find out how makes them. BTW....it looks like it would be agreat 3D bird.....and i dig the color scheme.....kind of "j-tech-ish".
