Whats a good(cheap) way to get into 3D foamies. I have a 4 channel, and a good bit of flying experience. Being a teenager, i have a limited budget. I dont really want to build one out of fan fold foam. The plane doesn't have to be very high performance, but i would like something that i could hover with. It doesn't have to be brushless either. I do not have a li-po charger now but i could get one. Right now i have a few 7 cell 730 mah nimh packs. I have heard that foamies fly decently on a geared 280 or 370 and a 7 cell pack.

But, is something like a Flatout and a lipo battery the best way to go? I noticed the recomended battery for the flatouts was a 350? mah lipo which i know would give very limited flight times. thanks for your help, i just want to get into the 3d world right, but inexpensively. Sorry for typos, tired.

I can hover anything on FMS 8 with no problem, and i have 2 other sport planes.
