I got a notice in my email today that they are in stock, but in short supply, so if you want one, give them a call ASAP. Steve
Tower sez ARF Nober is in Stock NOW......

Looks like they're both in stock, still no Hyper Viper though. But it looks like the price has at least dropped on the Viper. I thought it was closer to 50, now it's 40.99.
From somewhere near Parkville, Mo.

I wonder if they have made any changes to it with this last run.. Like maybe a larger tank and better leadouts... I would order one but already have one built plus another still in the box.
If anybody gets one let us know..

According to the Tower Hobbies web site, it now
has a 6 oz. plastic fuel tank.
>>The 4 oz metal fuel tank has been updated to a plastic 6 oz tank.
>>Stock number for new tank is GPMA2552.
I just looked at Towers web page and if you look in the tech notes of the Nobler ARF they mention the upgrade plastic 6 oz tank. The upgrade tank is in stock, I just ordered one from Tower for $ 3.29. The only down side is the shipping, even at the parts express price is as much as the tank.

Ya but it makes me fell like I am getting more for my $3.00 shipping even if it isn't true
Kinda like I saved $20.00 but spent 300 doing it.
Yeah,
I had an email from them this morning telling me the one I had on back order has shipped.

Steve,
You may have missed this, but a couple weekends ago I helped none other than Ken Burdick put in some flights on his new ARF Nobler. Pretty impressed, I am. The Fox 35 looked as if it had been on the floor under his bench for 28 years, but it ran. Well, it ran on my fuel; Ken only had F2D brew with him and that was definitely not going to work.
The model appeared to have been, ah, hastily assembled. Still, it looked great in the air. And Ken was pleased.
Just the other day Jim Booker called to tell me his ARF Nobler had flown. And he likes it! Our top US F2A team member putt-putting along at 55 mph, and yet when I talked to him he was enthusiastic like we would expect him to be after clicking off a record-setting flight in Speed...
While I haven't yet bought a Nobler, I have begun to fiddle with a second ARF Flite Streak. This one will have the same 25FP as the first, but with stock muffler, including that little cone thingie which further reduces noise and even seems to make the engine run marginally better.
Pulled all the black MonoKote off, to be replaced with insignia blue. A red-white-and-blue ARF FS to go along with my new Impact which also features these colors.
