Remember, the Seawind for example is a $400+ kit (with electronics), whereas the Northwind is almost half that.
-$135 to my door,
-Scavanged radio (albit AM) parts from older RC cars- free
- sailing on the local pond for half of a seawind kit (priceless, well more like $-200 but it still sounds good right?)
