After playing around with some different planes and watching your videos i decided I wanted to build one from scratch so i drew up a fairly simple design and then went to a hobby shop to pick up some parts i asked one of the employees who said he was building a plane of his own to help me out with picking out the parts. he set me up with a 370 motor, some props, an ESC, some push rods, and some control horns. i stopped there because i felt like i had already spent a ridiculous amount of money (a little over 100 dollars) and after watching the 100 Mph for < $100 video i felt kind of screwed and in over my head when i realized i still needed a receiver, a BEC and the battery... which was gonna cost me another 100 bucks at least.
When I started this project i knew it wasn't going to be super cheap but i did expect it to be cheaper than buying most kits and $200+ is more than i would like to spend considering its my first build if some one could help validate spending this amount of money or put me on a path to some cheaper parts i'd much appreciate it!
Here's what i currently have as far as my motor and ESC
