It's been estimated buying repalcement parts to make an ARF version of the PTS would total about $220.00. I'm tempted to buy the parts (sans trainer gear) so as to have one in reserve, but hope to see an ARF version before long. Maybe combined order/ shipping of the parts would qualify for a reduction in price. I certainly can't complain about quality or defective parts, and can't demand anything be replaced for free. This is a really fun plane!
If anyone hears of the release of an ARF version, lemme know!!
