Default RE: Lost Bigginer

If you are on a really tight budget. I might suggest you shop around on the auction web sites. For example: I picked up a like new Fox .45 for $26 and a Futaba 6 ch radio complete for $85. Of course these deals don't come along every day and you must shop around for a couple of weeks or so to find a deal like this, but they're out there! The best deals are auctions that end late at night when only "nite owls" like me are up. If you don't know much about the equipment I suggest that you ask a friend in the hobby to double check the auction for you so you don't get taken for a ride and of course double check the seller's feedback/rating. The ARF trainer kits are getting pretty cheap. I saw a nice trainer new in the box at Tower Hobbies for $89. You may even find a used complete setup for around $200. I see that your living in Puerto Rico which may make it a bit more of a challenge, but I trust it can be done. Good luck in your search and happy Flying!
