Depending what you mean by affordable, purchase just the fuselage of the model you want then do the rest of the work yourself. Build the wings, tail parts and all of the other pieces.

The closest inexpensive similar planes are the Kangke SuperKraft F3D (which has been discontinued, but occasionaly show up on the Auction Site), there is an ARF called the LR-1, not sure if they are still available or not, but that may be option also.

I just completed a build thread in the Extreme speed forum. I think it is somewhat similar. This kit is $80.00. I really do not think you will find anything cheap that is currently being flown competitively. By this I mean under $400.00.

I am building a Matney models "Napier" Q-40 short kit. The kit is $125 and you should be able to finish it up for less than half price of one of the composite models currently being sold.

This one was my first Q-40 and it is going together fine. I am taking pictures of construction and should complete the model in a few weeks.

Thats a very nice looking q40, is it built from the matney models kit?

Status: offline 		I started the Napier with the idea of going fast without spending a lot of money. In some of the forums a sport version of Q-40 with Thunder Tiger Pro 40s was discussed. Below is how to install one in a Matney Models "Napier".
