Unfortunately Whirley Bird is probably correct if you were to try and buy a used balsa trainer.

However, if you can follow a few directions and can sweet-talk the owners of a local 7-11 store or gas station out of a couple of their old coroplast signs, you wold have most of the materials you would need to build yourself The Deb .

If you're just learning, The Deb would be an excellent choice as it is more durable than the traditional balsa and will survive the punishment a new pilot tends to put his model thru during the learning process.

As for servo's, you can always check ebay. you can find real bargins there sometimes.

Good luck,
