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,
Yes, OS 46AX. That's the engine I have. Excellent engine.
The RX alone is $65-$75.
this is why mine hasn't flown. I have an AR6110e, but I don't feel it's got enough range so I put that little guy in my car and I'm saving for an AR600. 'Course I'e got to dip into those savings to fix my truck...
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>

You won't need any servo extensions. All four servos mount within six inches of the receiver. As for the cost...these things aren't cheap, brah. You're not gonna do much better without buying used gear.
