Bind N Fly is just putting your receiver in a RTF sans receiver correct?

Mike,
The Bind-N-Fly planes are just that. They come with servos, battery, and a receiver already installed. All you do it bind it to your radio and then fly.

I'm sure that Hobbico/Futaba have looked at this option, and for whatever reason have not pursued it as an option for their products. This is one of the things about the way corporations are ran.They have goals that they wish to meet, or target markets they want to sell to, and they tailor their product line in that direction. If they felt that BNF products were where they wanted to go I"m sure you would be seeing them on the market. This is obviously something that Horizon wants to capture. Their E-Flite line of plane fills a niche in the market that many other companies do not.
