Thanks! - I felt it was over priced too, considering a like new Escape went for 650.00 (just missed that one 3.25 meter) over 1100.00 bird with 200 more in servos for 650.00 didn't last long. I'll pass on the MAko - I did get the Spectrum and Skyhawk for learning, Will check with local Club for an Emerald when I've got some launches under my belt.

May I suggest--The Skyhawk is a good old ship, as is the Mako. I think the Mako is somewhat overpriced. If this is your first full house ship, I recommend the Skyhawk. I managed to tear up a few learning to fly this type ship, and if that is gonna happen, I would rather tear up the less expensive ship. I bought a fine Addiction for $500.00 with Volz servos, that is why I feel the Mako is somewhat overpriced. Hope this helps.
