Starmax He-162

I saw on one of the pictures of the re-opening what I believe to be a STARMAX HE-162. Any chances this plane will be available in the future from Hobby Lobby?

Anything's possible! ;)

It's an x-flight. Either way, I'll buy one IF it is sold at what I currently know to be Xflight pricing levels.

Now c'mon, give a better answer than "anything's possible". :D

Since that opens the door for speculation, these are often the possibilities:
1. Xflight is not immediately agreeing to a proprietary vendor contract. Chinese businesses in general are not a fan of that, and prefer to sell to anyone. That said, a theory would be that they would offer Xflight more than most vendors would, but at the same time sell it for much more than other vendors would.
2. Another theory is based on that the plane is production ready, as far as I know.
Why then is it not being sold?
Well here's a likely answer: They are working on having these planes supplied as RTFs, with gear installed. In that case there will be no SG or NPS option. There is inscentive to do this, as we all know, as it allows the vendor to make more profit per sale.

None of these ideas are intended to "kick" HL, as business is business. Just a more detailed answer than anything's possible, as I don't believe that anything is possible. I do wish anything was possible. Such as an NPS or SG version like GWS offers, at the same price level.
