yeah it is pretty heavy. with batteries and ready to fly mine is 1394 grams with 6 cells so add another 100-125 grams for 8 cells. Around the 1.4kg mark is where you will be i guess.
kit = 270
4 x HS-81 = 60
CC35 ESC = 85
motor = 90 (hacker or mega)
Gyro = 140 (csm or gy401)
RX = 80 (pcm)
So i guess you are at around 700 euros or so without batteries. 500 if you have an RX and gyro already lying around.
What would one cost, completly fitted out with proper electronics?
