hello i'd like to know what materials i need to build a CHEAP a real cheap one (sorry not too much money to spend on it rite now) and help to build it thank you very much
Hi Pocket Kun,
I might suggest buying a trainer kit, which comes with instructions, but if you are starting out with nothing i.e. servos, tx, rx etc. I would buy a full kit with all you need, however, you should expect to pay around $300- $500. I would recomend, if you do not have a big bugget, getting an electric trainer if you are not familiar with gas engines.
If you are new to flying, I would recomend you get an instructor or a simmulator, like Realflight, to help you out. Even though a trainer plane might look cool, if this is your first plane, I would recomend getting a powered wing to help you learn the controls and basics of flight, plus, they are almos indestrcutable, and frienly to frist-timers.
I remember when I was in your situation, I did not have a lot of money to put into it, and I went for the cheap tx and stuff like that, but i learned that when I upgraded, I needed a whole new transmitter. I would advise buying one high quality transmitter, around 6 channels, so it is cheaper to upgrade.
