Hello all,I am a electronics student and i have always been into aircraft. i have a large collection of pieces of rc helicopters and cars but however have never had a rc plane.I was recently given the link to Chris giving a presentation on the ABC(http://www.abc.net.au/tv/fora/stories/2009/08/07/2649426-p.htm) and have to say although the presentation is pretty funny, i have become obsessed with the idea of having my own drone.So my questions are as follows:firstly, some conditions:1- I am a full time student2- I am very poor(see 1)now for the questions,1- does anyone know where i can get an MPX4192 EasyStar in australia?2- If not what would you recommend as an alternative? I have so far concluded a foam-type, push prop with a large wingspan and cockpit space. but so far have not found anything in Melbourne atleast.I know these types of questions have been asked over and over again but i have been calling around Australia for two days now trying to get information, I have spoken to several RC clubs but have not had much help.Thanks for reading,Leon

Pleasure Leon, I keep mentioning this SPAD http://www.mugi.co.uk, the plans are good and they are free also the instructions are very well written. With anything that flys you need to balance strength and weight, too heavy and it won't fly too light and it won't fly for long!!
Go and find a model flying field and bother the old codgers there and make sure you fly a flightsim FMS is free with loads of models available.
Good luck!
Mugi - Tough, easy to build, affordable RC aircraft and free plans.
