    Well, around 120 - 160 quids for engine and servos depending if you go 2 or 4 strokes...
    But you need a radio, receiver, all the gears that go with a glow engine (battery socket for the glow, fuel, pump and so on...)..
    That depend if you already have some gears or now...

    I guess, he meant gears that do NOT come with engine - that is what most people have in their flightbox

    Actually, Fred already had listed some of them ... see above

    So long as you CAN start them! :p

    I had two flights today (Raptor 3D) and a pal had another two (on my P-51 Mustang and Cessna 400) while a friend was trying to get his glow engine going. ... I was on electric. Switch on a fly!

    The glow engine chap went home without a flight.
