Hey Chuck, CMaxx if you have room to fly ,there are several plans available in the 1/2a forum that you could scratch build for $10 worth of balsa..add the $7 engine and $80 for the radio...well you will also need misc building supplies that will go over your budget...if you have a school yard to fly at then I would go with a RTF electric like the hobbico flyzone/ventura $89.99/$124.99.(search Tower Hobbies).if you go rtf do a search for it in the parkflyer section BEFORE you buy..if you'd rather go glow engine then head over to 1/2a and search for the LS150 lots of us have built them....Rog
