I've been looking for a cheap electric to mess around with myself, but nothing I've seen or read about sounds both good and cheap. It seems like most park fliers are marginal with their "stock" brushed motors and NiMH or NiCd batt packs. Seems like you really need to go for brushless motors/controllers and LiPo cells, which starts racking up the $$ pretty quick. When that cost starts getting close to the cost to build another nitro SPAD, I loose interest again...

If anyone else has found a good, cheap park flier, I'm all ears too! [8D]
