Mike.. the Walton price may be correct as that set had the capability to be upgraded to 2.4g in the future. :D :D :D

That compares with £198 for an OS Diamond, £177 for a Flight Link Sovereign 4, £154 for a Skyleader SLX 4, £143 for a Futaba M4, £142 for a Sprengbrook Sportsman 4, £136 for a Swan 73 4 Channel, £134 for a Skyleader Clubman 4, £130 for an RCS Digi 4, £126 for a MacGregor IV, £125 for a World Engines Blue Max, £112 for an OS Cougar, £108 for a Horizon HS4L, £105 for a Digi-Fleet Custom 4 and only £85 for a GEM 6 with 4 servo's, but most people have nick-named the GEM the "toilet seat", due to its looks and performance! The only things cheaper than the GEM 6 were kits from MIcron and Remcon.......
