CHEAP .40 SIZE PLANE?
 
I have a OS FP .40 engine sitting around and it needs to be put into an airplane!
Im looking for something cheap..say under 100.00 and aerobatic not a trainer,something i can take out on a windy day
when i would not want to fly something like a 300.00 cap 232.
I looked at a Lanier Javelin..anyone know anything about this one?
BRING ON THE SUGGESTIONS!
Thanks

My sunday crappy weather flier is my old trusty Hobbico Skyvista low wing. I love that plane! Hauls around niceely with a 40 sized engine and is easy to fly. They are hard to find now. H9 makes a $125ish Cherokee thats very similar.

hard to say for around $100 :( I would look at Vmar stuff as well. Just make sure you do some reinforcement of the importnant sub-strtucture joints and you will be ok.


Also try the Marketplace here, there are some pretty decent deals floating around.
