it's come down so much nowadays...That Master CP I got was an RTF kit with a 7ch 2.4Ghz controller. Heli and controller was $200. I had to add batteries which are pretty cheap too, but that's really it.
Gone are the days of the several hundred dollar Futaba controllers. Futaba is still around, but nobody seems to buy them anymore. I remember those expensive days back in the 80's when I was flying gliders - cause that's all I could afford! On Thu, Jan 10, 2013 at 11:12 AM, Larry C.
