If your budget is $3000 you have lots of options from 50cc up to 100cc (if you buy used). For example, you coud spend 1/3 on engine and muffler, 1/3 on airframe and 1/3 on electronics and such:

80cc engine/muffler: $900+

75cc Aeroworks 260: $800

Good digital servos (5): $500

Prop/Spinner/Incidentals: $300

That's $2500 for a nice flying plane.

If there is anyone in your area who is already into gassers, I'd see if you could get together and get some first hand guidance.

Have fun.
