Cheapest 3D electric backyard flyer setup?
I have zero electric experience and little knowledge of how to build a power plant for one. They confuse me to no end. I would like a smaller 3D airplane to fly in my backyard. I have no fancy charger. I am looking for something that I can play with in my backyard for relatively cheap. The cheapest I have come up with so far is about $225 (and a need a fancy charger for Lipos), I know a brushed motor is way cheaper, but nobody recommends them anymore.

I could save about $30 by going with their combo which has a smaller motor 1/4 size battery, but that doesn't seem worth it. I bet the smaller battery wouldn't even give 3 minute flights.
Is that pretty much the cheapest I can get a descent 3D electric for or is there something else I could do?
