Default Pennies-on-the-dollar P-51 ARF

Has anyone owned one of these? The price is incredibly tempting ($119 + $7 shipping), 60-90 size, w/retracts. Thank you in advance.

It looks like a bigger version of a P-51 that a friend of mine got off epay. Nothing special, but not too bad either. For the $$ it looks like a decent deal, but as usual, you've gotta do a little "work" on it. Reinforce the retracts, and firewall, etc.

Check out this ARF Cub for 55 bucks! http://store.yahoo.com/raidentech168/pij3cub15nia.html Its small 50 inch wing but not bad for an inexpensive trainer.

OK, the site uses a Goldberg Tiger 2, Kyosho Caliber 30 Heli and futaba servos in their links. Seeing these items would give the impresion that they sell these items. Well, no where on the site can you find these items for sale. I wouldn't trust them.

The same pic is used for ARF Cubs selling on eBay. I bid on one one time, but when the price went over $30, I lost interest. The eBay ones have a $25 shipping charge. Only $14.46 for the ones from the web site.
