Thanks for the review, Dave. I was wondering about this puppy, but ran out
of moolah before I could pick it up. The wing assembly looks a little iffy

to its bones than it looks.
Price through Bluelight.com is $84.99 - anyone see it this price or lower in
actual stores? (K-mart, Wal-Mart, Cheap-mart, etc.)
