Default RE: is this a good price for .40 trainer?

I had one of these (ARF) with an OS .46-LA. It was a great airplane for the money. If you plan on using your exisiting Spektrum Radio however, the RTF may not be the way to go. You could buy the ARF version of this plane, an OS .46-AX engine (more user friendly than the Tower .46 in my opinion), 4 servos suitable for the plane and a receiver battery for around the same price as the RTF. Since you are going to pull out the 72MHz radio anyhow, I'd go the ARF route and get a better engine for the same money. Assembly would still be a piece of cake. That's just my opinion of course. You could also just fly the RTF with the included radio, there is nothing wrong with it at all and it's very simple.
