I just read that Sig is now coming with an RTF version of their Kadet LT40. It comes with the Sig's Aviastar Av-46 2 Stroke Glow Engine and the Hitech 4-Channel Radio. It should sell for a bit less than $400 cdn. I can get the Alpha and Arrow .40 RTF for about $330cdn. What do you think of this new RTF combo ? I have learn about the difference between the various planes I have on my list but what about the value of this combo when compared to the two others ?

I'm still waiting and reading a lot before I buy, that is a bit difficult to make a choice. For example I just found a Thunder Tiger 40 MKII RTF for only $250cdn ! Wow it look like a deal but how can I know it when you're a total newbee I'd like to avoid making a mistake. I want a radio that can be use with a flight simulator and with a buddy box capability. I don't really care if the radio is not great as I will buy a better one later on when really needed ( maybe in 3-4 years ). I will still keep that first 4 channels radio to practice on the simulator. I will use the simulator a lot so that's ok with me if I only use this radio for this purpose in the future. That will help keep my starting cost a bit lower.

Thanks again,
