Is anyone know, GWS USA sells any RTF under US$100? (Ready To FLy)
(I know GWS is very active on this forum.)
Here is my question for GWS -

Since I am teaching a class in local chinese school on Sunday, we are looking for the start kit for the students.(12 students, age 7~15)
But most of RC kits are too expensive for kid, or too cheap to fly at all(just a toy,it would not even fly)

But I haven't seen GWS has anything like RTF(except Heli Dragfly II) with everything included. (even the slow Stick is fine) Local Hobby shop sells GWS radio(4ch, 3Srvo, ESC) for $130 + airplane $39. But it is still out of reach for the students.

Is there any comment?

I believe the skyfly and redhawk of hobbico are below 100 (not including tax though)..have heard a lot of good things said.
GWS...if you get a slow stick..and maybe a 27mhz system it'll be below 100..or else it's hard to push below 100

My boss has discussed with us for RTF kit of Slow Stick, but he
did not mentioned its retail price at all.

Currently, you'd need to contact service@gwsus.com for help.

飛機 $20 (e.g. easy bug)
TX/RX/Svr(x2)/ESC(10a) (like Drean starter)$60
.
Is this possible?
.
No sure there is any profit for GWS?
But there are alot of RTF under $80 now? (include TX/RX plane, bat, chager...etc)
.
I am planning for FY07 now.

We are work on something RTF $100.

But also thing how to make many small type aircraft CL and FF electric RTF packages for $20~50. But come with good performance, not like the others toys! :cool:
