If your budget isn't real big and you want to get into flying you might want to check out the spad section of RCU. If you need plans to build yourself a plane visit [link=http://www.spadtothebone.com]The SPAD Website[/link] and pick one to build from there.

Biggest expense flying spads is the motor and radio gear.....the airframe can be built for roughly 5-10 bux and they WILL survive a crash that would turn a balsa plane into toothpicks. How can you go wrong with cheap fun like that
