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 Dynam Hawk Sky and saw for $119.00 you get a plane simular to the body style of the easy star, a brushless and li-poly battery upgrade, and everything needed to fly out of the box.so my question pretty much is,first of all, does anyone own this plane?what is your guy's opinions on this plane?do you think it will get the job done?-Mike
The ailerons are nice. Wish that they came standard on the EZ*. It would make it much easier to fly than with just the rudder. However....
If you read the Nitro Planes fine print closely, it says that the R/C equipment is 35MHz which is only used in Europe. Unless the 35MHz is a misprint, you will not be able to legally use the R/C equipment in the US.
I think that one's new. Looks like a good deal--just wish they'd offer it without that rubbish RC gear. Still cheap enough to get and just throw the RC gear away.

I presume they replace it with 72Mhz gear for the US. Still rubbish, though, and no toggle or 5th channel so you'll have to replace it for UAV use.

Just a thought.
