Yeah you are right, no offense taken, i should have been more specific.

The exchange rate explains some of it. You can use 0.87 as a rough conversion factor I think. I also took the numbers off the top of my head. Now that I did the math and wrote it down, I feel that I overspent a little...

And I wanted to compare apples with apples, so to speak, even though they are not in the same class. Let me explain : I added a second LiPo to both birds because that's what everybody does, and I added a HH gyro to the BCPP to get it even with the T-Rex. Of course, you need to buy a computer radio and a charger for the T-Rex, since they don't come with one. So in Canadian dollars :

BCPP : 299$
additional lipo : 45.99$
G90 HH gyro : 99.99$
S&H+tax : about 75$
--------------------------
Total 550$


T-Rex 405SA ARF with ESC and Brushless motor : 299$
2 TP 2200 lipos : 200$
3 HS-65MG servos : 111$
1 Futaba 9650 digital servo : 65$
1 Futaba 401 HH gyro : 159$
1 balancing charger depending on your choice, about 100$:
Spectrum DX7 radio : 399$
S&H+tax : about 230$
--------------------------------------
Total 1550$

Of course the two machines are not in the same league at all, but even if you cut corners and bought the cheapest components and only one battery, you would still pay twice what you paid for the BCPP if you bought the T-Rex. That's what I wanted to show.
