RE: Kit or ARF
I found the Orangerx, and said, Ummm, nope, not going to risk a few hundred dollar plane to a 12 dollar RX. Problem I have now is finding the correct RX. Once I find the correct one, I can start pricing out RTF to ARF. I can get the servos for $19 locally, so no big deal there, but an RX is $80 locally, but darned if I can find the correct part number, I dndnt mark it down when I was at the LHS today. I dont see it listed on Spektrums site, it is an AR6xxx with a remote rx on it, same as in my T-34. I figure if it is good enough for the T-34 it should be good enough for any other plane. Looks like the motor in the RTF is an O.S. If I can get it all for under $200, I will order today, otherwise I will wait. If I can keep the cost to less than half of what my T-34 costs, I wont feel so bad if I crack it up.
I was tempted to get the PZ T-28, but its electric too, so maybe later. I know my little 28 is a blast to fly.
