stoped by the track/field today and no one was on the track or the flight field I was thinking today was warm enuff for someone to be out there but some jerk was parked in front of the gate blocking from getting in or out.
But I'm writing this because Bryon showed me couple foam flyers of his that looked like they would be a blast to fly and told me that you can get $2 sevo's , a speed controlers and motor for $20, and a radio system for $30, he gave me the web site www.rcpowers.com I downloaded the plans for the X-31. Looks like the plans for the Nutball is not there anymore.

On the servo's,ESC and motor and radio I'm thinking he was talking about the prices from www.hobbypartz.com, I was wondering if I''m right.
I did not find a radio for $30 from there but one for $44.95 its a 2.4 Ghz 6 channel

i bought all my stuff from hobbyking.com
it cost me $119 for motor, speedcontroll, servos ,batteries, and 6 channel radio .

i should be flying by tomorrow but im going to bee bee to race so the
plane will have to wait

I have been figure out everything I need and what I want, just waiting for my W2's to get in. What 6 Channel radio did you get.
Are you going with the Nutball design?

yes hobbyking and several others, weve had some trouble with the 6 ch transmitter because it requires a program on your computer to make changes and servo reversing. We made Kieth a nutball and you can find planes and videos all over the web if you would like to have one get in touch with me and I can make you one. or any other one you would like this foamy stuff flies great and is very cheap to boot. Even some very cheap helicopters.

had a great time at Bebe Kieth and me and the wife went yesterday. I got second place sc stock and kieth got 3rd place sc4wd. race went real fast and smooth 7 classes ran and we were out of there around 12.

If you dont have Vista some people have had to copy the files from the CD to their desktop in order for them to install.

Kieth,
If you bought the HK 6 channel, these links may help.
buy the xp usb cable to hook the tx to computer
