The reason I sold it was because I had just started my 50%+ buisness and it didnt match anything else I had...lol

It took up too much room and really just didnt need it.

Andrew I can answer the who sells this kit. No one any longer. ACM sold the molds and the buyer has not produced any more kits. As for how it flies I don't have first hand knowledge for a couple weeks but it is not going to be RC Like. More like full scale. Its going to wind up and over rotate in snaps and will be pretty pitch sensitive. It is very short coupled compaired to what most folks are used to in RC.

Fick that guy is drop dead sexy.
