Yellow Aircraft F-18 Hornet ARF
Well,
Truth be told, I'd much rather answer specific inquiries about specific birds. Not all kits/ARFs are available at all times, and so forth.
On the Hornet ARF, the rudders don't come cut out. They're really not at all necessary (unless you go T power), then you just cut them out and do what you'd do if it was a kit-built bird. It takes about a day.
The price for the ARF Hornet is $1680, the scale metal wheels, tires and brakes are $220, the semi-scale struts are $120. So, $2020 gets everything but servos and propulsion.
Speaking of schemes, there's a new one. It's a fleet low-vis gray scheme complete with dull finish and weathering. It looks very cool. If you want it, email me, cuz there's only one left, and my name's on it. That one's $100 more than the Blue Angels or Hornet #1
Cheers,
