Title: Ef1 proud bird
Post by: cpaine on October 20, 2016, 11:24:59 PM
Just seen a post, tower hobbies has PBs for $99 US. Says free shipping but not sure about Canada. Worth a look.

That is a great deal, they are over 200.00 in the LHS's!!! I just hope that Great Planes are not planning to discontinue that airplane.
Nitroplanes are done with the Dara and there are rumours of HK doing the same with the Invictus, this is not good for the E F 1 class.
I did here that there are plans to make the Estrelitta  an ARF but kits are available from Carolina Custom kits for 130.00 plus shipping.

E F 1 Guys who all order a Proud Bird, 99.00 bucks US is a hell of a deal, that's shipping and a 15.00 coupon off.

That a boy Greg!!! I bought one too, its such a great deal, have to keep inventory for the E F 1 guys. But I still think something is up with Great Planes [Towers] blowing the kits out so cheap, maybe getting on board to produce the Estrelitta.

Ken with a PB? I think you have officially owned every single EF1 that has been produced!!... except the Thunder Chicken! but i guess the Thunder Chicken and PB are the essentially the same airplane except for the T-tail

Got dinged as well, still a good deal.
The plane is built very well and lite, should be a good flyer. I like the all white, its easy to the put a nice colour scheme on. All ready working on one, its very basic.
This kit will be available at the Aurora swap meet in April, the price will be a little more, than what I paid for it , this is to cover the trim film.
