RE: Working backwards from a battery to chose an airplane.

Ended up ordering motor directly from hacker. Motor, esc, prop, thunderpower 3s 1350mah ultralight battery, and hardware $129 shipped. Decent price for a premium package like that.

Well guys,

RE: Sukhoi Su-26M BNF by ParkZone

Did you say 'pro' orders or 'pre' orders? Is that a sponser pro joke? JK
