thats a pretty fair deal for this plane, mind you its not a steal but....those are hard to come by. I try to keep a trainer in my hanger to sell to newbies, I wish I would have seen this just a month ago or so. I sold a old hobbico trainer (it had been patched and was ugly but had a solid structure) with the engine and radio for $185. There are steals out there like this but they are hard to come buy, generally speaking anything under 350 for the whole outfit is usually a good price. This hobby is expensive and generally you pay for what you get. Its already been mentioned but the LT-40 is a super trainer. I used this airplane to learn on 9 years ago and I have used it since to learn inverted flight. I think for your money an LT-40 with a thunder Tiger Pro .46 and a flash 5 hitech radio is the way to go if your serious about flying. The flash 5 is a very simple computer radio and it will allow you to fly 5 airplanes from the same radio, all for about $180 (its been a while since I bought one).
