Hi Everyone
I know I've touched on this in a previous post but now I need some advice/help.
My birthday is comming up shortly and my wonderful missus has said that she would buy me my first plane, however she has a very strict budjet of $200 - $250. I already have the DX7 Tx & Rx so don't need another tx just yet.
I know the T28 Trojan comes very highly recommended by everyone in the club however the BNF version is $319 from Kelletts and is about the same elsewhere.
The PNP version is $229 but I would need to buy a battery & charger, which would push me over the limit. The guy from Kelletts quoted me a 1800mha battery for $50 and a charger for $30.
Steve also suggested the Venom Island Hopper which I'd also be very happy with however after the ring around of various hobby shops it seems that these are no longer available and no-one has any left, so unfortunatly that seems to be out.
So can anyone offer advice as to which plane I may be able to get up into the air for my $200-$250 budjet? I'd like to go the Trojan but i'm worried that the cost of batteries and chargers might be a little too much to bear and I don't really wanna have to wait until the next Hobbyking order to be ordered and delivered before I can fly :cry: :cry:
Thanks
Mick
