bigtim,

The rebates are for merchandise after you make the purchase, not the plane, engine or radio your purchasing.

Current Pricing online at Tower:

Plane - $100.00 (NextStar, Avistar, Superstar)
Engine - $115.00 (OS .46 AX)
Radio - $180.00 (Futaba 6EAS 6-ch computer)
---------------------
Total - $395.00

Plane - $100.00 (NextStar, Avistar, Superstar)
Engine - $115.00 (OS .46 AX)
Radio - $120.00 (Futaba Sky Sport 4-ch) (or Futaba 4EXA 4-ch computer $140.00)
---------------------
Total - $ 335.00 - $355.00


All three are good trainers. For the additional $20.00 I think the 4EXA would be the better way to go over the Sky Sport since it has features that make setting up a plane easier Your looking at a $40.00 price difference between the 4-ch and 6-ch computer radio's, so it's up to you how you want to spend your money. Besides the 4EXA will work in a lot of planes for a long time.

yes they are, or half that in cash it does say that, but as we all know this hobby is a $ pit so the company is going to get your $ no matter what.

so do you take the rebate for product or the cash?

don't forget the discount for $$ spent/promotion -20 per 150.

that sucking sound is my wallet being sucked into the computer.

for that price the nextar ARF sounds cheapest 379$ no computer radio but a basic sim instead its what I did and it worked for me .

I dont know whether the 4 ch. comp. radio is such a great deal. I have the 6 ch.for my other planes and it is great, wish I would have gotten the 7,since I didnt the 9 looks good if I am going too spend more $ on another radio it will be the top of the line its going to be a while before that happens,got a warbird to build.

I digress this is about saving some cash for someone new to flying

bigtim,

Just keep repeating to your self "I need that 14 channel"....."I need that 14 channel"....."I need that 14 channel"....."I need that 14 channel"....."I need that 14 channel"....."I need that 14 channel"....."I need that 14 channel"....."I need that 14 channel" ..........Just like engines on planes - bigger is better..................................
