"Kristoffer,
What is wrong with a EZ* from Multiplex in Germany. Many hobbists who try to build their own planes, unless you have done so before, never finish the plane or it does not fly well and they lose interest.
Just a thought.

"Haven't flown mine yet. Been travelling for three weeks straight and it looks like more of the same till the end of the year :-("

"Not sure. Doesn't seem as tough as EPP and it's certainly not Elapor."

"I just got one of these and I can confirm that it's 72Mhz in the US. It's really quite an amazing deal, given that it comes with a LiPoly (looks like around 1500mah), balancing charger and wall wart. Not quite as much interior room as an…"

Michael Donat commented on Michael Donat's blog post 5th or AUX RX Channel"the tx looks pretty cheapy, but i guess its better than the stock gear. $32 for a reviver and transmitter, what a deal. but at 2.4Ghz im going to have to find a new camera system. any recommendations?"

"These 6-channel HobbyKing 2.4Ghz RC systems are an amazing deal at $32."
Paul Bealing commented on Michael Donat's blog post 5th or AUX RX Channel"The HawkSky flys well without rudder. I think I've only used rudder a few times in the last year; by mistake :). I probably should learn to use it.
The receiver supplied is 5-channel but it's only a park range receiver at best. The…"

"Well good luck and I feel your pain at not being able to afford everything at once!!
Best not to try an mod the TX, you can, but its a mission and it might just end up not working.
A cheap airframe and radio setup is a great way to learn to fly,…"

Im looking to start a UAV project based on the Dynam Hawk Sky which I had posted a day or so back. I got a lot of comments on the radio system saying its junk, and cannot be used because it does not have a 5th or AUX channel for the AutoPilot. As an 18 year old working at RadioShack, I cant really afford a new radio system let alone the components for AutoPilot, but I figure if I put a little money away every check or so… Continue

After looking at the suggested planes for use as a UAV, I noticed there not all that cheap.
The plane considered for a UAV builder "on a budget" was still something like $110.00 without any electronics!
I know the Easy Star is a pretty popular model in use with UAV construction, and even that is bumping $200.00 without a brushless motor.
I came across the… Continue
