I was looking at the specs and I assume that it is standard BT80 / T80 2.60x2.558 airframe tubing and not BT80H / T80H 2.64x2.558 heavy wall tubing.
A “Pro” series Semroc kit at this price level should have the heavy wall tubing like the old SLS series kits … same as the SLS Brighton.
I hope this 2.60” diameter is a misprint. Not knocking the Pro Cherokee but for the suggested motors I would prefer the heavy walled tubing for durability.
If anyone that has purchased this kit can confirm that it’s BT80H and not standard BT80 I will certainly buy one from Semroc to build and fly … 🚀
