When you also add in that it comes with absolutely everybit of hardware (including servo arms) that is needed to complete the kit, and all of which is extremely high quality, I feel that adds a lot of value to the kit. I have assembled tons of arfs. Some have great hardware, some come with none, and some come with junk that simply gets bombed into the trash can. When you add the complete hardware package in, I think it falls right in the price point for aircraft in the 33 to 35% range.
