If you decide to go the Electric Route Check out the GWS Slowstick I bought My dad one for fathers day and after he learned how to fly it under my guidence we can now go out and fly it in our back yard<1/2 acre>. We can fly it low below the treeline or soar WAY up the above the house and road then come in to land it at walking speed on our drive way...


The air frame itself is $35-40 and the support equip and servo's and reciever will be about $100.. The Airframe is a very very simple build. Using tape to construct it(as shown in manual) It took me (I've built 3 glow afrs) 30 minutes to build.. if you go this route buy The GWS Quick charger and Severl (2-3) battery packs.... We have 2 650 MaH battery's worth about 15-20 minutes per flight..Replace the stock wheels and replace with foam ones for easier take off's and landings plus they look better.
