So I bought a
BNF (Bind-N-Fly) Sukhoi-26 as my first plane. It's <u>
<span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);">fun</span></u>, it's <span style="color: rgb(153, 204, 0);">crazy</span>, it's
<u>tiny</u>. I wanted a plane that allowed me to fly outside more than once a month, so I thought I'd get an Easy Star 2. I like it for it's safe-mounted top motor and <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);">4-channel option</span>.
The Plane.
I am going to use a <span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);">Spektrum Dx5e</span> Tx and <span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);">I'm assuming a DSM2 Rx will be BNF</span>? Was thinking about a Turnigy 9x (<span style="font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">RX-9X8Cv2), if that seems reasonable.
This is my shopping list (so far):

I dunno diddly-squat about what else I will need. For instance: will I need to solder servo wire extensions? I'd rather not have to solder just yet... What else do I need to consider? Do I need clevis/horns? Dancing pandas? Please be gentle, as this is my first time. <u>My primary goal is getting it airborne; the ailerons can happen after I get the thing flying.
