new builder in ireland

[benjamincorona]

hi there
my soon and i stumble into the videos of flitetest and we got hooked up now we are in search of all the components to build our own planes but we are in a very tight budget and here in Ireland everything is way more expensive and hard to get i just manage to get foam board a1 10 sheets for 37 Euro a little expensive then i found a cheap rc transmitter in aliexpress flysky any idea if is any good? also they have all the parts and it look the cheapest way to go for us my son is only 8 and he can wait to learn and me i can wait to spend so much quality time with him and et him in to something so interesting . thanks to all flite test you are great!

Hello sir,
Samm Shepard made this awesome video on Beginner electronics:

Flitetest also made this great beginner series:

I have heard of Flysky but am not familiar with the quality.
I hope this helps!

welcome to the forums .....
i can say the flysky ia6 (or the turnigy ia6, it is the same as flysky rebranded) is a gem of a system at a reasonable price ,it is well worth the price !!
do be aware though of the uk foam ....it is a little heavier than what the usa uses ,which can cause problems !!!
but nothing that is surmountable ....
have fun with your builds and flying !!!!
