Ok, then that makes more sense. I recall someone telling me the Centuri Point, when one was on e-bay about two years ago, went for something like $450 - $500. If you look in the
Centuri catalogs, I think the company carried it for only one year, too. Good thing I purchased one when I did. I'm still flying it even after all these years! (Last flight the Point was used for Open Spot Landing at the Hearts & Darts Regional meet at JSC this past
February).

Yes, according to my records there has not been a single TK-44 Birdie sold on Ebay (except for this recent one, of course) in the past six years. And there was only one sale of a K-44 Birdie, the short motor original, in June of 2004. So these kits are certainly hard to find, and probably are missing in most collections. In that context, they are probably easily worth $70. By the way, the original Birdie was produced for 3 years, from 1969 to 1971, and the later version that used the 13 mm motor for only two years, '72 and '73.
