Happy almost December. Now order your plane for Pete's sake!!!:applause:

Given that the Chinese holidays in January is coming really soon, as mentioned
before, best get your orders in if you want it to arrive soon.

I am not sure if it's the same ESC, but it looks that way, so: If you notice, that your motor just starts when you move the throttle in +range (-range neutral +range according to elevator stick), don't get nervous - it seems to be quite normal.

Thanks everyone. And kudos to the post service for not losing my package.

OK guys, need some help here. I am going to get the Bixler ARF. What else do you suggest that I get? Stuff like battery warning, extra servos, Turnigy neckstrap, etc

How much shipping weight do you have left after? I would suggests a whole new bundle of stuff to make some scratchbuilds!

Yeah, I wanted to do the same, though the weight of the Bixler was 1935g so I just ordered the following:

Hobbyking Bixler EPO 1400mm - (ARF) $49.41
HXT Lipo Monitor 3S. $1.92
TGS Sport 6x4E Precision propeller $0.51

The plane, a battery voltage display, and a prop. If I ever fly "backwards inverted" LOL

Invoice details here:

Shipment is 1982 grams. [Air Parcel (ECUADOR) 1500g - 1999g] $40.09 shipping

Spent so far on planes: $134.43
(Of which $50.08 is shipping... holy flying cows)

------------------------​

If I need more stuff, I'll buy it separately. Suggestions? I'd like cheap components for a scratchbuilt trainer about 75cm span OR a small lightweight around 40cm, whichever is cheaper.

A good ca glue is a must for rc modellers. I use hobbykings "Evotite" and it works great for those little mishaps we all have! Happy flying!

You will get the voltage instead. One of the small things i cant be without in the box.
