Craig I meant 100 companies, but I guess they are made by the same company.
Still good for the consumer.

This is not a TOC/Aviation Models airplane or SD models. Last year some of the autocad files where taken and then brought to another factory. They use the exact manual that we used as well. Its very close but not the same company.

Looks to be in the $130 range. I've got a bid in on the Katana and have sent a question asking about using Forward Air or DHL to help make the shipping a bit cheaper.

I did some research on the seller and it seems that alot of the smaller planes he sells are the same as the ones that www.nitroplanes.com sells.

I've got a 66" mustang from nitroplanes, and even though it's covered in Chinakote, the construction seems very well done. Strong, straight and smooth.

So even if the covering only lasts 1 season and it needs to be stripped, for $650 for a 35% decent airframe it still seems like a decent deal.

Won the bid, but the guy is trying to rake me over the coals with shipping. $150 via Forward Air. I've shipped huge crates with them for less in the past. Gotta figure something else out.

Yeah, thanks for the bold type. I realize that. But I've shipped enough stuff to know when someones prices are out of whack. Not saying I'm not gonna pay it, but if I can find another cheaper way that will save me a few dollars then why not try.
