Hey there,

I am looking to get back into r/c aircrafts. Anyways, other then my radio(which needs a charger and I also need a battery for the receiver which I misplaced as well), everything else is junk(engine, plane). The radio I'm thinking of storing though and getting a computer radio (Optic 6 or the Futaba 6channel one)

Originally I was going to get an RTF with the engine and radio included but because I want to get a better radio I'm looking at going with separate purchases(engine/radio/aircraft). The RTF's come with everything needed for the plane but I'm wondering this:

Do ARF's come with the extra parts needed like Pushrods and all of that?(in other words, is it a bring your radio, servos and receiver as well as the engine and drop them into the plane, connect everything and go?)

I know this plane seems to have it all:

Although I like that plane, I'd prefer something like this from hangar 9:

But the trouble is I live out 5 hours from the nearest hobby shop that carries anything and about 8 hours from the shop these links are from and I'm worried I'm gonna order things and be missing all sorts of stuff. Plus my budget is already way past my original plan when I thought my engine would be good to go and didn't have to get a new one.(went from about 200 bucks to about 400 or 500 bucks now) and I still need a few accesories. In other words, if the only ARF that comes with the needed hardware is the Thunder Tiger I might get that but I really like the Arrow from Hangar 9. If anyone knows of other kits out there that come with the hardware but without the engine and radio(ARF not RTF) that would be great.
