I hope this is thought provoking :)

Well good luck for the maiden then :D

Hi,

If you want to make a low cost model aeroplane then why not make the whole thing from cardboard, hot glue, adhesive tape and popcicle stick.
Here it is done to perfection :)

So the actual cost of the model must be under $1.00

The remaining cost is the same for any model you choose :-
Motor
Battery,
ESC
Prop
Servos
Rx.

This could be done under $20, with carriage or a trip to a hobby shop.

I hope that is thought provoking :)

All the best.

Mal :)
