Best bang for the buck?
Hello, just been looking to get a big extra. I was thinking 50cc size, but can go up-to a 100cc class if needed. I was just wondering what was out there, what people have had luck with, and where is everyone buying from. I've been to a few local hobby stores, but it is hard to say "yes, order it" on the idea that no one has seen/heard of/or flown what I'm looking for.
Thanks for any help.

One of the very best "QUALITY" airplanes out there for a lower price than the "TOP OF THE LINE" is Wild Hare. They are decent people to deal with and their product is outstanding. If you use a DLE55 engine you will be very happy. I think you can get into a new 50CC bird (Edge, Sukhoi, or Extra) for about $1000. This is for a quality airplane and very good equipment. If you go up a step to Extreme Flight, AeroWorks or some of the others, you'll pay $1500 for the same set up.I've owned 3 Wild Hare planes and have been very satisfied with each of them.

I'd say about 1400 before the cost of the plane for a 50cc. Unless you own most of the extras. 600.00 for servos, 400.00 for the DLE, 60.00 for the spinner, 30.00 for a prop, 60.00 for a wing bag, 250.00 for receiver/switches/batteries/servo leads/glue etc. I'm not sure 250.00 is enough on that last one if you use the good stuff.
