There is a very big difference of a plane designed to be a trainer and a 3d-r. You need to get your hands on a decent little foamy, something about the size of the equipment you are running so you can use existing batteries, etc. IF FEASABLE. I have seen plans for home made stuff on the net that would let you build a foamy cheep, but you need to do some research there. You must have decent motor-ECU and batteries to 3d, otherwise you'r spinning your wheels. There is some currently very good relatively cheep equipment currently available I'm not famaliar with since time for me is limited. Getting way too old, eyesight is geting bad etc. Simply am not going to spend my limited time of enjoyment on that kind of stuff unless forced to do so. Hand with the 3-d electric guys, several should be able to stear you toward some good stuff cheep. ENJOY
