I'd have to contact them to be sure of that if I were interested in ordering.
If I remember correctly my 11 meter pole from England was about $175. It has been real popular at our 32' cat 2 site. You can reach just about any hung model with it. I've also gotten to be infamous for carrying around several pole sections to assemble as my model gets higher. The clear flying area is so small that the only way I've been successful at keeping a model flying is to steer it away from the walls and the wires almost continuously during a flight.

This isn't a horrible deal - their 12.5 meter ( 41 foot) pole weighs
about 2 pounds and is graphite and if I read their site correctly the
price given is for 2 of them - it is a 10 section pole from the details
listing.
