Im new to RC aviation and want a cheap, decent and durable plane. I would like it to be a 3-channel one (one that banks from side to side and well as goes up and down). My price range is around £70. It would be useful to have the prop on the back as i am learning.
Any suggestions?

Holodoc: Do you mean you want to have the engine facing backwards in the rear of the plane with a propeller called a "pusher" prop. IF that is what you are thinking, then I would say stick with the traditional engine/prop mounting later. I woudl think that the engine/prop in front would be easier for the beginner.

I don't know the value of the £ on Uranus but if it happens to be similar to a UK £ then 70 of them (100 dollars) won't be nearly enough unless you already have the radio gear. You can get a cheap ready-to-fly electric for around £100 but it is likely to just have motor switch not a proper throttle and it will not be crash-proof.

I have been looking around and have come across a plane (3 channel, throttle, rudder, elevators) for £100 (uk), with prop facing backwards. :stupid:
