Easy to get if you will pay the full new price.

YES!
I have a commercial stryker getting no use, let me know if your still looking for one.
It has been covered in clear doculam, very tough, and flown once at a great slope down from Lennox Head. Never been flown under power.
The original motor let out a bit of smoke when i set it up for testing, so i sent it away for replacement. They didnt want to as it still worked, although i insisted that smoke = BAD! and they WOULD replace it, which is what happened. It is still in the original bag it came in, unopened.
The original mini servos that come in them are week. 2 perfect landings in soft soft grass were ok, the third was a 0 "roll" flop down from about a foot, and zzzt, servo is stripped.
So, it does need servos. Not a big deal, although i havnt gotten around to doing it yet.
A lot of people know of my blue coreflute stryker. With some good air (high wing loading) it really gets up and boogies with the rest, with amaizing airobatic capability, it can be a hold your breath, seat of your pants flight if you push it.
Ive even DSed it. Not ideal as it sapps energy in the turn, although it definitely penetrates well enough to do it.
Would be happy to see the only plane i have ever bought get some use, so let me know.
Rossco

I thought the new ones were nearly $400 ? Or was that the RTF package including Tx etc? Where did you get yours?

Yep....stacked it on the first attempt, adjusted the flaps and launched again....took a minute or so to get use to it, but I have to say it flies VERY fast....and reasonably easy to fly....alot of fun...
