Hello,

I want to venture on RC flight models but need advice on basic setup aswell on components prices because although interesred Im on a limited budget and Im starting after all.

For a basic setup only using rudder because its an ekranoplan type and using electric engine/battery (lightweight) , what I need?
To the previous setup adding variable trottle (to avoid torque pull) and signal range?

Component price: is posible that all the cost be under 100 USD? Brands and online stores? There are some RC controlers that are like 400 or more and found one at 37 however I dont know if this affect range. Also an store that indicate componets weight whould be useful.

I used google to search info but there is a lot of brands/sites and I dont know where to start. When I was teenagee had a Tamiya catalog wich listed engines, torque reduction gears, etc but on site didnt found products about, its like now they come pre built and also dont know if they would be the most economic way to go.
