I don't know much about the airplane but the rest of the stuff is great! You may want to order a couple of spare props too. If the wing is held on with rubber bands get a box of those too.

New or used?

THey are all new. Just found it on a website. You know there are not many choices to buy airplane in Australia.

I've checked the plane guide, and people said the only drawback about the plane is its manual/instruction.

ouch....the manual can be a really great thing to have.....but as long as the plane has some sort of instructions for construction....it should be alright....
and i agree that you need to get a few extra props just incase you get into a freak accident or run into something while taxiing and break a prop in the process:D

If this is new then the price is only OK. If it is used, then you are being robbed.

If I buy with my own choices for the plane, TX, servos, etc, will I end up roughly the same price? I mean there are some parts that I don't need them yet, right? Or pretty much most of the above list is things that are required to fly a plane?

Some other things, is it better to buy a product that I can find spare parts locally or they are similar in some ways that I can use any parts to replace a broken one? I'm thinking specifically about the plane.
And what is trimming (as in setting up the plane when I want to use different plane with same radio)? Is it difficult to do or to learn?
