Where did you get $700 from?  The add had $349 for the price.  It looks like
for just under 1K total you could be in the air and ready to compete.  Spend
the other 351 on fuel, props, and contest costs.  I have that much in my
Epsilon but I enjoy building as much as flying.  Anybody know anything about
the Viper G202?  Would like to do that next.
