Now should you elect to move up to the Deluxe model, it comes with metallic paint, bluetooth phone, and leather seats, and just to sweeten the deal a little, this month the company is throwing in the engine, normally only available as part of the ultra high-end Performance Upgrade package, which goes in this empty space here. Moving further up to the Grande Edition, you get all of that, plus the engine and flight controls, if also optioned, are fully connected to the appropriate control surfaces.
