RE: Need something expencive
It's a kit, and no, all you get with it is a box of wood and plans/instructions. After you build it, you would have to buy the radio equipment, batteries, motor, speed control seperately, plus the added challenge of covering and setting everything up.
It's not impossible for a beginner, but it sure is starting the hard way. I wouldn't reccomend it unless you have lots of time, patience, and some help from an experienced builder/flyer.
