Yeah they should change that. IMO if you have to buy anything seperate to get the thing in the air, then it is ARF. RTF is charge the included battery, add batteries to the tx, check blade balance and tracking, then put it in the air. $1200 for everything, that seems kind of expensive to me considering you can get a complete t-rex package with the metal frame t-rexS v2, the new futaba 2.4g tx/rx, fut gy401 HL gyro with digital servo, hitec hs-65-hb servos with karbonite gears, lipo battery, and deans antenna and ultra plugs for $695. They also have the carbon frame version for $735. It's the t-rex matrix package from helihobby....oh well, to each their own.
