Default RE: What Can One Expect To Pay For...

Artes Rabbit $2,695.00
FEJ F-16 (1/6 advanced) $1,850.00
have them install gear doors etc. $100.00
Servos: $356.00 or so
EV5U valve: Saves Trouble and time: $285.00
Batteries: $120
Hysol 9462: $12.50
Airline: you will need as FEJ does a terrible job with this: approx $50

Total: $5,468.50

Then your going to need some sort of fueler ($199.00), battery charger ($70.00), CO2 Fire Extinquisher ($40.00 used), H2O fire extinquisher ($40.00 used), blower ($50.00) total: $399.00

Transmitter and Reciever: Price will vary from say $500 - $1500.00 for a decent radio depending on the amount of channels you want.

Now you can save a tremendous amount of money and time if you buy one already built but that can be risky if the build is not good or the components used are not up to par.

Fuel is about $5.00 per gallon around here. You will use about a half gallon or so per flight on this size. 10-15 min flights max.

I don't know I might have missed a few items but this is the bulk of it.

Good luck!
