If you are looking for a trainer to build, this is one of the best. It builds easy and flies well. There are a couple of build threads running right now to help you. It costs a little more than your suggested price but is in a more realistic price range.

You may be able to get the same price (or lower) at your LHS if you show them the Tower price. It's worked for me. Just don't make a habit of it.

Support your LHS and they will support you. Don't support your LHS and they will close. [:@]
