Start from nothing

[Knap]

hi guy

I'm new in the hobby, and i have no idea to start whit. the only thing i want its the F-22 Raptor Scratch Build.

i dont have the glue, the tape no controler no receiver the rod and.... So i need to know where to buy all the stuff i will need to make the plane connect all the stuff and its 4 or 5 channel, did i need a Dx5 dx6.

my biggest problem is money. i have a club in my region they maybe could help me but to join its 180$!!

im in quebec (canada) french.

Are you planning to build or buy more planes later on? That affects the purchases a lot. I know it's hard to tell but I thought I'd ask anyway.

If you want to buy another plane later on I could recommend a more practical charger, Tx, etc.

Expect your first order to be anywhere between $150 - $300. But that amount will get you started well.

for now i just manage to get this one. i know if later i bought a new one whit retract gear, flare and all this stuff a will need more channel.

let say it will take a long time before a have the retract gear on the plane so 4channel. Like the model that Josh make its a "trow start"
its perfect because i dont manage to get somewhere whit a landing..

and i still need the lowest price.

This is a good starting place - 6 channels, recommended by FliteTest. Rx included.

The Turnigy 9X is an excellent option as long as you want to spend the small difference. It's a beginners - intermediate - half advanced system for an excellent price.

It's about $25 more, it will increase your shipping weight a bit, but it is always on backorder, and it's sold out fast.

I have only listed stuff you can get from HobbyKing. Look around town for a small hardware or wood shop. You'll need to get some piano (steel) wire for the control rods, some small screws and a piece of wood to mount the engine, and the tape at your local hardware/wood/garden/home store. Just look around where you live, it will be cheaper!

For the wood, Look at Dolorama, it will be your new friend for cheap marerial.

For my firewall wood plate I used a birdhouse Front, the wood seems perfect.

k nice, so im gona check all this stuff. maybe the rod whit not be piano rod :P but i know the lighter i get, beter it will flight.

For now its look like this :

1 charger 11.44$, 1 propeller 1.64$, heat shrink tube 0.35$, 1 pin connector 0.75$, 2 500mAh 11.58$, hobbyking hks6 28.41$, turnigy park 300 13.44$, redbrick20a 6.47$,2 micro servo 10.45$

total 85$


any idea for the carbon tube?

and you tell me to put a 1600rv and on the plan its a 1300!! can you tell me why

i see this model of servo, cheaper, doing the same thing i think. the only problem i backorder, but the price is better. any suggestion.
