Those have the EDP100 drives in them. These kits normally have the EDP300 drives in them, and I'm not sure the 100 drives will have enough oomph to fly it well.

I think that they made the same mistake Horizon did there add is wron I just copyed it from there site!

the kit comes stock with 300 motors I think who ever did there add made a typo, since Ehobbies gets there kits from GWS, and since GWS does not sale a DC-3 kit with stock 100 motors, I think they are using old spec.

I sent a email to ehobbies and will post the results here.

Are they still asking $54.99 with the 300 motors. My LHS just got the C47s. I have been waiting almost a year for the silver DC 3 and they get the darn military version. I am so upset with them. How do I order one from sdparkflyers, assuming that listed price is still good. Tom

Click on the "buy" button? There is a link on Tallflyers page that takes you to the eHobbies page advertising the DC-3. I would jump on it if I was you. GWS has gotten wind of the price oops and I would not think that the retailers that are advertising at the lower cost will be keeping it there (unless GWS decides to lower the cost to $59.99 like I think it should).

Tax in CA is $4.54, shipping is $12, for a total of $71 and change.

It's almost the same amount as buying it somewhere locally. No wait at my LHS either.

I just got another Email from Ehobbies and they say that the information listed on there site ( the same information listed n the link on my site) is correct, and that th eplane only comes with ep100 motors I dont think they know what they are talking about because look at the difference of the planes, wing size and fusalage or different then th eone on GWS's page and a few other things are different, might just have to order one to see what I get!

Im emailing Mr Lin at GWS to see what he can tell me!


I will keep everyone posted!
