... a complete new airframe (Fuselage,wing,cockpit,tail,cowl,spinner).
I had read on the rcgroups website that Atomic Hobbies in the USA were doing a great deal
on these parts and I have ended up getting the total including shipping to Australia for $104 Aust.

Now that's very interesting Paul! So, if I understand this correctly, you put your own servos, ESC, motor and receiver in place and you've got the complete machine? Is the motor mounting hardware in the airframe too? That sounds like something I'd be interested in doing too, perhaps in a couple of weeks time - thanks for putting us on to it.
Cheers,
