One of the things that I do to save a few bucks on ARF models is to just buy the components (Wing, Fuse,Tail) instead of the full kit. This works well if you fly similar sized ARF's.
I try and re-use fuel tanks, landing gear, wheels, etc. These parts rarely go "bad" and can live to fly again. You can save about $30 on and average ARF.
Have you priced the Horizon ARF parts these days? The wings alone are running half or more of the price of the full ARF.
The Great Planes ARF "parts" are cheaper than the "whole" kit as they should be. I rarely buy anything from Horizon so no I haven't priced them. Sounds like a "Rip-Off" to me.
