Then there's the electronics. That's about $50 for everything needed. Check out hobbyking.com. CHEAP prices on everything.
Cool planes! Looks like you're into some 3D flying. I've heard of hobbyking, but never shopped on their site. I have on old Firebird Phantom that no longer flies, and since it's out of production you can't really get parts for it anymore. However I couldn't make myself get rid of it. Some day I'll gut it, rebuild it with a standard tail, (it's a V tail now), and get it up and flying again. Maybe I'll even "go crazy" and upgrade it to brushless. Zoom Zoom!!
