is there any such thing as an rtf or arf that includes the engine speed control batteries, servos. that will run on 72mhz. id like an electric but most of the arfs i see will cost you $400 bye the time you buy all the junk. and most of the rtf's ive seen run on 27mhz. i have a 72 rx and just wished there where rtf's that dont come with the rx. and wont cost you an arm and a leg.

Check out Ohio Model Products (OMP) 3D buddy systems. They include everything but servos, receiver and batt for 175.00 bucks and you need 3 micro servos at about 19 bucks each and one 3 cell lipo at 700mah for around 45 bucks plus Great Planes makes a nice little lipo charge for about 20 bucks plus 19.99 for the GWS receiver and 3 to 5 bucks for the crystal

I have one of these, the Edge 540, they are balsa, weigh in at about 1 pound, handle wind well, fly nice and easy on low rates and will go nuts on high rates

Or check out Parkzone, RTF kits for around 200 bucks but no where near as fun as the OMP models

A really good place to ask this question is in the RCU sister site, WattFlyer. Same owners as RCU and loads of fun. You'll see allot of the same mods from here over there and you will also see some of the members that hang in the beginners forum here over there
