Cheers mate. I'm looking forward to sharing the experience with you guys. $1007 all up for us in Perth, but I'm sure I'll get my money's worth in the fun this thing will be to fly. Now my mate Kurt has one ordered too, I'm pretty sure a tandem A10 shirty film is in order. Should be easy to mount a couple of möbius cameras on the wing pods on both too. :)
(Now the hell of waiting for it to arrive starts lol).

I'm a Canadian lurker, chiming in on the price. The estimate was $499. I was going to buy the ordnance package anyway so as far as I'm concerned, the price is dead on. My landed cost by the way after shipping and exchange is just over CAD $900. This is a bargain to me especially when I've bought $2000 helis without flinching. The other thing is that with the way MRC has brought us all together for 4 months, giving us opportunity for input, planning, hearing great stories and just for the shear excitement, I would have paid another $200 just for the experience! Thanks, all!! :Hug:

I have no issues with the 50 bucks at all. I was prepared to spend that on armament. By the time I bought replacement gear and had to replace servos in my LX A-10 I had at least $550 in it and than gave it to a good friend to make for this one. Now the fun part the wait. If 50 bucks is the deal breaker on a model than your are in the wrong hobby.

I'm just hoping that the complaining about the price, the "lemons" (not sure where that is coming from), etc., doesn't make MRC stop being as transparent and forthcoming as they have been with this plane. I am very thankful to do business with a company that is up-front and honest with their customers. I was going to order the weapons anyway, so seeing the $550 price and reading the ordnance was included = spot-on for me.
And I'm glad someone else said it, but I 100% agree - if $50 makes or breaks you on a $500+ purchase, then perhaps this isn't the right hobby for you.

I got mine ordered yesterday, so now I have a battery question. I have the HP 90mm F15 and the 90mm F16. Both fly extremely well but eat thru a 5000mah battery in 3.5 minutes at most. I have the 80mm fan F86 but I haven't flown it enough to get a good read on the 80mm fan vs battery life. What batteries are you guys looking to go with for this beast??

Thank you. You said it better than I could have.
I have always had a thing for 3 jet airplanes, the F-4 Phantom, F-16 and A-10. I fly off of a grass field so the A-10 was high on my list.
