Check the forsale section. If you can not afford a Blade 400, then you can also look at the Belt CP for around $210 or the HoneyBee King 2 for around $160.
I bought a blade 400 and have spent around $150 in parts with 3 crashes and then another $130 in upgrading the flimsy servos. Just getting the bird is not enough, you need disposal income to keep these flying. I would say keep saving until you have around $500 to get the Blade and some extra parts or go with the cheaper CP machines.

From what I have read the Belt CP is very hard to fly and not stable. The Belt CP is stable since it does not have a tail motor. Did you want a full Blade 400 with a radio or are you going to use a radio you already have? If you have a radio that will save you a lot of money.

the guy i bought it from gave me new flybars, new tailbooms, and 3 new sets of align blades, new tail blades as well as the box manuals charger, and 2x lipo batteries. so i just hadda go buy a new mainshaft and tossed in some spare servos i had.
the DX6 radio still had the protective film over the LCD

Perfect steal IMO

i live in Spring as well, or extremely close to it. (45 N. and Rankin..REMINGTON RANCH subdivision) maybe we could meet up at some point. as for the BLADE 400, you could do craigs list OR go to RANDY's HOBBIES off 249 and grant road (WELL WORTH THE DRIVE..10-15 minutes) much MUCH better than LARRY's hobbies. customer service is AWESOME. but anyways they have LAYAWAY. that is if you want to go NEW.
as stated earlier, go higher in price, because there will be items you will want to upgrade, and parts for replacements.

yes I do go to randys and larrys I go to randys more because its better like you said but larrys is bigger so I go to both and I used to go to hobbytown all the time but then they closed and a really long time ago I went to just hobbies but they also closed a long time ago. I don't know if we can fly together because I'm 14 and I can't drive yet but I drive cars and go to this one parking lot off 2920 and 45 on Sunday nights and you know where that is then maybe we can meet keep in touch
