This total is not complete, but so far is $921.21 (taxes not included).

• "AMA" Annual Membership (or "CMA")... $58

For a "Grand Total" of $1,034.48

This "Grand Total" does not include varying annual club membership(s), not to mention getting the "I wants" for a second plane (which I've already bought a Carl Goldberg "Super Decathlon" ARF)... $359 and then get to buy another (larger) engine, reciever, servos and battery on top of the "Grand Total".

All in all, PaPa... I'd have to say that your $30 isn't going to cover it!

Maybe you should buy a RTF.

Good luck, but more importantly... have fun!

Not included in this list of items, are things that I've already aquired from art school, such as my Xacto Knives, #11 blades, 45°/90° Angles, pencils for marking, drill bits that the "ex" doesn't have, etc...
