RE: 2 1/2 ozs.
I have read 3D and foamy posts till my eyes are bleeding. I have learned alot from all me reading and I cant decide what airplane to start with. I want to start fairly cheap so I'm thinking of getting that same airplane with this setup:
1 Fun Foam Extra 25" Kit
1 Blue Bird BMR-04 Horizontal Pin Fut/Hitec
3 BMS-306 High Performance Sub-Micro Servo
1 BP 15A Brushless ESC
1 BP 12 Outrunner Brushless Motor
1 8 x 4 Direct Drive Black Electric Propeller (EP-8040)
1 E-TEC Lithium Polymer 11.1V 1000mAh HP
Total $171.22 shipped from Balsa Products
I might add an extra battery for $39.99.
I dont have any Lipo batteries or experience using them. I am getting an LN-5014 charger locally. I already have a Hitec Laser 4 radio. This would be my first 3D airplane I learned on a Slow Stick and a TigerMoth 400. But I want something small, light, aerobatic, and fun that I can fly around my culdesac and in a gym. I just want something controllable and fun to fly when the wind isnt blowing too much. The flight pack is available seperately for $153.27 if there is a more reccomended plane for a 3D newby. I probably wont be doing that much 3D to beging with, I really like to just fly around slow and do loops and rolls, so a basic airplane is probably fine. Please post any comments or suggestions as I could really use them.
