Have you thought about scratch building a plane? you can have a plane built for only a couple of dollars. put a couple of dollars into a cheap radio and some cheap equiptment, motor, battery esc servos etc, and you can build as many planes as you like for very little money.
Thanks for the advise. I'm in Australia QLD and I already have a dx6i and a couple of receivers. I have thought about scratch building but I don't have the equipment to start it.
