Posted: Fri Dec 07, 2012 11:16 pm
I have come across all types of information through following RC Universe, WattFlyer, RC Groups, and multiple threads and videos. If I find some usefull links explaining a worthy subject I will just tag them in here.
Here is a later Podcast that is in our BCRCC Home page. I put it in here also so you are aware of it. It is in YouTube and you can play it while you are on the computer. Stop it if you need to and come back and pick up where you leave of at a convenient time.

Here is one I found that is interesting as the guy says he built the plane for around $10. The key is the PLANE, not the extras. Never the less Foamies can be inexpensive.
Here is a Quote from his YouTube video.

"This is a foam scratch built plane I named the Cess-nah!!! It is the best flying plane in my arsenal of 10. I tried to build it for $10 but because I added landing gear and actual hinges instead of tape, it ended up costing about $11. It took three days to build and I've been flying it for 6 months or so. I love this plane,. Motor- BpHobbies outrunner 2217-6, 25 amp ESC, 11.1v 2200mah lipo, three Bluebird 371 micro servos, 9" prop."

But all in all, it is a sizable aircraft for maybe well under $100 ready to fly if you shop in the right places.
