Minus the engines and some servos? Are you saying that for $40 you got some servos with the kits? Why is it I can never find deals like that? Have fun, follow the instruction manuals carefully, and make friends with a modeller that can take a look once in awhile to check out your work, at least at first. Hope you enjoy the hobby.
I usually run into deals like that, but have to drive 400 miles to pick it up. And by the time I get it home I've spent $40 on the plane and $150 on food and gas. Or it's the other way around and people want to charge $1,000 for a plane that only costs $400 to build new. And a lot of times when I show up at the swap meets, most of the good stuff gets sold before I can even get to it.
Ed, this is a great place to ask any question. However, you might have 100 different answers in return and can have more questions than answers in the end because of it. Join a Club and you won't go wrong, and no one will try and steer you in the wrong direction, I promise.
