Sergeant Miranda,
Another avenue that you may want to try is going to some of the suppliers directly or some site like United Hobbies.com. They have some exceptional equipment and prices.

Servos - $3.95 each as opposed to $9.95 here and on the Internet
Motors - depends but range from 50 watt to 300 watt that go from $9.95 to $35.00
Receivers - $15.00 and up
LiPos - 11.1V 2200 mah for $33.00 as an example

So, you can get a setup for a flatout from less than $100.00

I've flown my "Stuff" all winter and had no problems.
