bigtim,

The rebates are for merchandise after you make the purchase, not the plane, engine or radio your purchasing.

Current Pricing online at Tower:

Plane - $100.00 (NextStar, Avistar, Superstar)
Engine - $115.00 (OS .46 AX)
Radio - $180.00 (Futaba 6EAS 6-ch computer)
---------------------
Total - $395.00

Plane - $100.00 (NextStar, Avistar, Superstar)
Engine - $115.00 (OS .46 AX)
Radio - $120.00 (Futaba Sky Sport 4-ch) (or Futaba 4EXA 4-ch computer $140.00)
---------------------
Total - $ 335.00 - $355.00


All three are good trainers. For the additional $20.00 I think the 4EXA would be the better way to go over the Sky Sport since it has features that make setting up a plane easier Your looking at a $40.00 price difference between the 4-ch and 6-ch computer radio's, so it's up to you how you want to spend your money. Besides the 4EXA will work in a lot of planes for a long time.
