I really want an Electra but have had a really hard time throwing down $1500 for a kit that needs a lot of work (the wings are built up wood)... the arf is $2500
This is a really small plane and I find the price crazy.. and that’s just the kit
Look at a yellow F-16 it's about the same size... the kit is $600 and the wings are foam core... and there kits are great
The Electra is a great flying airplane, and no doubt a lot of work to build even the ARF. Making a coparison based on size really isn't fair, still the same amount of time goes into developing the molds, and parts as if it were 25% bigger so smaller size just does not equate to smaller price proportionally. Also the YA F-16 has not changed in the X number of years it has been out there, so it's also not a good comparison.
