Hey guys hows it goin. I used to fly a few years ago (i paid an instructor) I got pretty decent, just started taking off and landing. I never had my own plane though, I always used his. Unfortionetely the site we were flying was illegal so we were forced to stop the operation. I recently was just playing around online and found a close airfield that offered free lessons so I went down there yesterday and flew a few different trainers. The instructor said i was ready to start landing but I had to buy my own plane as he wasn't about to let me destroy his trainer. So I guess i remember something! So I'd like to buy a plane buy im bent on the decision. Should I just go in as CHEAP as possible and just get a ready to fly trainer liek the nexstar select (ebay around 350) or should I invest in a better computer radio/engine and assemble it myself. I'd probably buy the Futaba 7CAF computer radio, OS .46FX engine and the nexstar ARF. But that would be around $450.. What would you guys recommend.
