Default RE: Kit or ARF

I added up ARF pricing, the plane, engine, RX and 4 servos come out to over $420, not including taxes, or shipping. This also does not include the same engine. I can't find that engine listed, it is a .46 OS, with ball bearings, and remote needle valve. The closest I found was an OS AX ABL,  The RX alone is $65-$75. Just the plane and RX is over $200, add another $80+ for servos, $130 for the motor, and who know what else, like RX battery pack, servo extensions, and whatever else is needed, it is more than the T-34 I have.  THAT defeats the purpose of having a cheaper plane LOL.  I found an RTF for $379.  It also has the self correcting feature installed.  Since my RX is velcro'd into the T-34 though, I can easily swap it into the Nexstar if I wanted to. <div>
