Sounds like a decent deal to me.....depending on what you are paying for shipping......I think the hobby shop was a little dillusional....you can get a RTF Hobbico Superstar 40 for $300 from Tower Hobbies.....but they may have been giving you a price with support equipment that you'll need (fuel pump, glo-starter, etc). Keep in mind that you'll still need that equipment.
