Those aren't spektrum dx6i radio's included with the planes. From the web site:

That is not all, this Ultimate B-2 even operates on Full State-Of-The-Art Specktrum 2.4GHz Transmission System and included a Li-Po battery balance charger for charging 4S batteries!!!

Those pictures are of Pete's test model using his own radio and receiver. Look at the drop-down options where you can select to get it without the radio and receiver, it subtracts $25. It will come with a very cheap $25 2.4 radio system. I do really like the looks of this model, but when I read the description and saw them use the term "Specktrum" I immediately thought that it was misleading. Intentionally misleading? you be the judge of that.

Status: offline 		My vote would be Intentionally to mislead...but who knows! Only Pete does. The entry level full range Spektrum 5 with it's $90 some dollar retail would cost the plane manufacturer about $50 to include it! No way this plane comes with a SPEKTRUM 2.4 system.

If it sounds too good to be true...it's too good to be true!!

Status: offline 		Here is one more thing that is suspect about the claim of a Specktrum radio. Why would they offer to sell you 8 batteries for the transmitter when the DX6i only needs 4 and it comes with the batteries on Horizon's site.
