An LT40 kit runs about $87.00. You might find a few trainers that are cheaper but you won't find one that is a better trainer. Any of the kits have a lot of parts but the LT40 kit contains step by step numbered instructions with precut labeled parts and photos. If you can read and take your time, you can build this kit! Bear in mind that an engine, radio, and other field equipment can run you another $300.00. Its a fun hobby but the start up costs can't be ignored. []
