    Noob Looking for a good under 75 dollar usb transmitter to learn on.

    Hey, guys, I'm new to RC flight and want to get an USB transmitter so I can learn multi rotor for fun. What USB transmitters are relatively cheap under 75 (maybe 100 dollars) that a guy can pick up and learn on. I was hoping to get alot of time in on simulators. Thanks in advance.

    COMPLETE NOOB HeRe

    Planning and Designing for noobs?

    So I want to get into this hobby and I wanted to save a little money by building my own from scratch, however it appears much more difficult than I thought. When you guys design your planes, do you put a bunch of math into it and all that jargon? My thought was that I would just make a fuselage...
