everyone's forgetting probably the cheapest (in price but not in quality) kit i know of....

what about the tower hobbies uproar 40 or 60 size?????

either one will set you back less than a $100 and the uproars are a blast to fly.....i've got a 40 size that i've flown the living snot out of....i'm obligated to sell it to a former flyer looking to get back into it but i'm planning on building a 60 size maybe this winter
