    I'm just wondering how your making a profit at all if your only going to charge 150-200 dollars, when you including practically everything.

    wingspan = 75.5 in
    fuse length = 45 in
    dry weight = 2.75 lbs (ready to fly minus batteries , includes: airframe , motor ,servos, camera ,remzibi OSD ,200mw video TX)
    max loaded weight = 4.4lbs
    this gives you 1.65 lbs of battery/payload
    4x thunderpower 2600mah lipos come in @ 1.6 lbs giving it hour + duration (not tested , but have achieved 45 min flight with 2x shida battery's 2200mah lipos)
