I hear so often that this hobby is dying and I've never understood that. Despite the idiots at MAAC this hobby is alive and well. HobbyKing must believe they have customers for this jet.
Interesting that HK has come out with several somewhat more "expensive" planes in the past few months.
e.g. The Super Tucano pnp @$735.
Not in the range of this one, but still a bit on the pricey side.
ii find these planes too expensive for me. i see a possible freewing mig 29 in my future but thats over half the price of this 105 for about the same scale and power
