Get a 3d printer and the SR-17 is ready to go:

SR-71 Blackbird twin 40mm!

Ok guys, you want the best flying remote controlled SR-71? Here you go. 684G all up flying weight, about 200g lighter than the eflite twin 40 and its the same size. AND it doesnt NOT require or need any flight stabilization. Rock solid flight performance with bank and yank elevon control. Easy...

I built one but haven't maidened it yet.

But yeah, like with my Hero 11 I found it for about $50 less than usual on Ebay and it was just a return that was like new

When you're a geezer like me, you have seen it all before. Tarrifs, whatever DUDE. Just stop buying so much new stuff. Will fubar the vendors unless they adapt, but I don't see 50 year old businesses much anymore proudly showing their age.

John Deere does.....

Sounds like they have put a 90day pause on the tariffs so the prices might drop....I think china is getting desperate.

I'm curious. Since the tariffs were put in place, what have you bought that was higher priced because of the tariffs?

I have not bought anything while the tariffs (Except props on Amazon that I forgot on AliExpress so I had to pay a lot compared to what I could have gotten them for) Though I did stock on supplies before they hit because I could see what was coming.

Do you remember the difference in price?

Well I did get them well a sale was going.....But the prices are still pretty much the same as far as I can see, but when you get to checkout you get $150 of extra shipping charges for a $75 pair of FPV goggles.

Vs. Before it was nothing.

 

[AIRFORGE]

Yes, but you didn't buy it, right?

Yeah no! I bought a different set from Ready Made Rc.

The hobby has always been full of cheapskates. Tis one full of people spending small discretionary fund leftovers.

Maybe one person here actually was funded properly and didn't care about the cost of the products he used: L edge, but that was his actual job

 

[AIRFORGE]

Yeah no! I bought a different set from Ready Made Rc.

So you bought goggles and the price wasn't increased by the tariffs?

 

[Houndpup Rc]

So you bought goggles and the price wasn't increased by the tariffs?

Yeah, they said they were only going to increase on the stuff they had to but try to keep the prices as low as possible and the Emax transporter goggle happened to be one of those.

I got them for $98 vs GetFPV they are $128.99

 

[bisco]

Most companies overstocked as much as possible before, and now the tariffs are on hold for 90 days

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Looks like china is going to be at 30% instead of 140%..............
