Very newbie here. never have flown. Hope to install and start running an old RealFlight G2 version simulator this week. Already have a mint used unflown E15 Apprentice trainer RTF package, but want some experience in the FT easy build trainers first. Been watching the FT YT easy builds for weeks now. Planning to build some beginner and intermediate planes over the next months, and would hope to use the same slide in power pod and motor between multiple planes to conserve costs.
For example, starting with a standard sized FT Simple Cub kit, is there a short list of other FT kit planes that use that same power pod and battery size? And hopefully the same motor size as well? I guess I would buy the appropriate power pack the first time, then use the same motor/power pod, and buy all the other electronics as needed for subsequent planes? I would hope to come up with a repeatable list of electronics to install in each plane.
Can the Spektrum Dx5e transmitter that came with the Apprentice be used easily for most all of these simple beginner and intermediate planes and components?
Am I overthinking this trying to consolidate too much?
Thanks much!
