i just had a look at he aurora kit on ercmarket.com ...they are looking for 1195 euros for the kit that converts to over 1800 Dollars, why is the kit so much more expensive in europe than the US ???? US Kit is around 985 Dollars which converts to 621 EUROS ??????

thats a difference of over 500 euro - this does not add up !!!

As you can guess from my rant i wont be buying my Aurora in Europe , or any of the bits to get it flying, its just so expensive here !!! SIck of being ripped off ..

Thats not Avant RC' fault.

Maybe look at a different distributor. That sounds like the Distributor is ripping you off.

Ahh. Good plan then. I thought, right now, the US dollar was weak compared to overseas right now. Oh well, sorry its hobby money unfriendly for ya over there.

to my knowledge you can't buy an aurora outside your home dealer. i.e they are tied to only shipping within the country the dealer is in or you need to goto the closest dealer????....i'm 99% sure this WAS the case and i've not seen anything to contradict that. maybe someone can clarify this.

cheers

Current cost of the Auroa Kit is 799 pounds sterling which converts to
1008.62 EURos....still way ahead of the USA price.

Just got to grin and bear it here in UK

Since the dealers pay a few years ago, the weak dollar doesn't apply much. Plus someone has to paid for the interest from the long delay.
