However the latest news is that they are almost ready to release the model in Q1 of this year.

Pricing looks to be competitive at 259 euro's complete with radio and servo's.

Obviously this release will raise a number of questions about rules etc which I'm sure will be discussed in depth on the forum. However until we actualy see one in the flesh it will be very hard for anyone to give any difinitive answers on any rule changes that may be required.

See HERE for the Graupner Product information
