I know i sound cheap when i say the Sig SE is expencive, but when i could get a fairly decent ARF (Say, the Hangar 9 Twist) for the same price? All you're really paying for in a kit is the wood and extras. Personally, for a 40 sized kit, i dont see any reason it should be priced over $100. I know thats a bold statement, but would you agree? The planes arent that big, and i still have to buy wheels, pushrods, servos, covering, engine, not to mention all the building equipment. To build a SE would probably cost more than $150 to finish, which, yes, is less than the ARF, but for that i COULD have gotten a pretty snazzy ARF of another brand. I just think that if kit makers are trying to compete with ARFs, they need to give me a reason to build one opposed to the ARF.
