Nope, perfect place for this question.
You're looking at about $130 landed depending on the exchange rate. A quick way to judge costs is "Weight x 0.02" or 3300 x 0.02 = $66AU
Our shipping averages out to around 2c a gram. A quick note while the sale is on and stocks last, I can get it for $59.99US
The glider itself is alright, Bob has the HobbyKing one and Stephen B has a similar model. Stephen got his from ebay for around the same price give or take a few $
Out of the box, it flies ok but you don't have extra power to pull yourself out of trouble as you do with a T28. You will notice a difference in build quality (Cheap!)
I reckon you wouldn't have any trouble flying it, everything happens much slower and is perfect for just gliding around with if that's what you are after. Its a good candidate for chucking a bigger motor/esc in and hotting up a bit as well but the most fun with these things is switching off and hunting for thermals.
