Default Saito Gas Engine Price Jumps

Anybody know what's up with the Saito gas engine price jumps over the past few weeks? As an example, the Saito FG-21 had been $434.99 through Horizon Hobby...not more than a few weeks ago it jumped up to $449.99, now I checked HH this evening and it's $504.99!!

Was going to order another FG-21 tonight and saw that price; just can't do it. Sorry Saito...

I just check it out for you (I was wondering if they raised the prices on the 100/125 glows too),, see my link, the 21's Carburetor is unavailable, they must have changed the Carb,

that's a big jump in price just for a Carb, I wonder if they are going to pull it off their line up so they just raised the price ?? you never know

Well as of today the prices went back down to "normal" for all the gas engines in Saito line-up. Horizon has the FG-21 for $449.99 again. It may have been a pricing error which I'm thankful for - I'm back in the game for considering one again

Jim, I did check out your link and it's interesting that the carb for this engine is "discontinued". Hopefully the new one I purchase has the latest carb, if that is what's going on here.
