RE: Cheap and simple trainer
The cheapest and simple plane is a Bobcat pusher for $129
converted to turbine(jet joe JJ1400 fixed gear), you can
not buy glue, wood, covering that cheap. A new Jet Joe is
around $800 with the manual ECU and flightwork pump and
thermocouple costing about $300. You can use normal servos
except the elevator where one JR DS821 will do. The plane
is rock solid and easy, but super fast, to fly. See the article
in this months RCJI.
