2009 3DHS Wish List
If you had $600 -700 to spend at 3DHS what would you do? Buy two small planes or buy the biggest one you can for the money? Keep in mind, this includes the purchase of all items to get the plane(s) up and running.
Please share your thoughts! Thanks! |

..and how windy are the conditions where you fly, that's important.

By the time you buy a good radio and some lipos, there's only enough money left for a 47" plane. I'de go with the Edge 540, Torque 2818 motor, Airboss 45 ESC and Thunder Power 4s 2600 Pro Lite batteries, four Hi Tech HS65MG servos and a Futaba 7G radio. That ought to eat up the better part of $700.

I would buy the biggest plane I can for the money. The rule of thumb that bigger flies better is true. Additionally, if you don't already have electronics to put into the plane from other projects then $600 - $700 will only get one airplane no matter which size you pick.
$130 to $300 for the airframe up to $100 for a receiver around $130 for a motor and ESC up to $100 for servos a couple of batteries then misc props, extensions etc gets you right up close to your budget limit. Even if you go smaller and you have 100 or 200 left over then you don't have enough for all of the gear that goes into the second plane. But in any case, bigger will give you:

My son-in-law has a bit of $$$ burning a hole in his pocket and asking me the same thing. He's looking at T-rex's or finishing the builds on 2 3DHS planes that I've sold him. The question is, What gear do you already have? Transmitter? Chargers? Lipo's? George |
