Good Morning,

I bought my kit (ARF) from ACE Hobbies but it's available thru other sources. Ace is now listing it at $472.00 but I only paid $399.00 for mine. I know the price is negociable because I called Thunder Tiger to ask why there was so many different prices at different sites and they matched the cheapest price, but you'll have to call and ask.

The kit is set up for retracts but none are included with the kit (I used LADO electric - easy -easy - easy).

The 3 blade spinner is included in the kit (very nice piece) I painted thr prop. (APC 15 x 13.75 - 9250 RPM)

A .90 - 2 stroke or 1.20 - 4 stroke is recommended but as mentioned earlier I used E-Flite outrunner 110.

I made the conversion during the original build and it was quite an undertaking. The kit itself is way more work than any other ARF I've built.

In a day or two I'll remove the prop & cowl and take some pictures to show the motor, ESC, Flite pack and battery installation.
