IMHO best way to go is with a Baby Boomerang or A-10X with a Ram 500 engine. Easily in the air for under $3,000. You could go with a P-60 or Artez Bee, but that will add another $1,000 to the price. I had a 500 in a Baby Boomerang w/Spring Air gear and standard servos on everything but elevator. Great flying combination. Sold the airframe to another club member as his first turbine and have the 500 for sale in the RCU classifieds.
