I tought the E-flite Tensor 4D would be nice. It's only 30 $ but if I buy it , what seperatly objects do I need to buy ( like servos or something like this) or does everything is in the box ??
Thank you , I really appreciate

I have just about everything E-Flite. My Ultimate EP flies like a champ! My Tensor flies good, but I'm an outdoor flyer and it doesn't get flown much. My Ultimate is durable and it isn't too expensive. It isn't big, either. The Ultimate is super sturdy and awesome for beginners and advanced alike. This is the one I recommend. Then again, the Tribute flies good, too.

Ultimate EP Setup:

Himax 2015
Cobri Gearbox
Phoenix 25
Futaba Mini Servos
Castle Creations Berg reciever
Thunder Power 1320 mAh 3-Cell LiPo

Look on E-Flite's website and check their stuff out!

P.S. I'll tell you some modifications I made to improve the plane's performance and construction if you choose to get one.

The Eflite Ultimate is a nice plane, and is fairly durable. However, if you are new to RC planes this is not the plane for you, nor is the Tensor. These are advanced planes requiring significant prior flight experience.

For either you'll need 4 sub-micro servos, transmitter(Tx) and receiver(Rx), battery and speed control(ESC). It'll run at least $300 for everything and more if you need a charger.

WhtBronco is right. The Ultimate is good for if you're new to 3D, not planes. Go with something such as the Gypsy. I trained on a Soarstar. Go for that. Are you learning to 3D or are your learning to fly period?
