130.1SAME BUT LESS $$DPDMAI::GREERTue Apr 21 1987 19:109
    I HAVE ALWAYS FOUND COMO'S AT THE LOCAL HOBBY SHOP. IF YOU CAN'T
    FIND ONE TRY INDY RC. 
    
    I'V USED COMO'S ON AND OFF OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. ITS MANUFACTURED
    BY SUPER TIGER FOT THE AMERICAN MARKET. THE ENGINE INCLUDES MOSTLY
    THE SAME COMPONENTS AS A S/T AND RUNS THE SAME. THE ONLY ADVANTAGE
    IS THE PRICE IS ABOUT 20% LESS.

    	Bob,
    		Actually your right but wrong. In many ways the como
    is like the supertiger but they are two different companies.
    The story goes that the son of the owner of supertiger wanted
    to try a couple of different approaches so he and his dad set
    up a new company called Como.  That is the reason for the similarities.
    Supertiger has since been bought out I think by tower hobbies.
