These planes are sweet in that they only cost $990 for the standard red/white or blue/white versions. They are already built for you and each one is precision built. The fiberglass is strong and won't wrinkle like monokote, holds up better and is stronger. They are IMAC machines and fully 3D capable as well. They are harder to repair but I have a friend that has repaired his 2x now and they were some pretty hard crashes both from the engine dieing in low harrier/hovering manuevers. They take abuse well.
