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.

Here's another option - Given that this was your first post forgive me if I'm suspicious.......

I was kinda leaning to a 33% sooo maybe the sd models? how do they fly? there are a nice price

No Other Peoples ??????!!!!!!!!!!!

The SD-model planes fly good.. IMO.
i got couple vids.. but mine is the 37.5% Yak..
I have heard a lot of good things about the 33% yak.. i would give a shot on that one, but if you want something that is easier and FASTER to build, then definitly go with the Aero-Works 33% Yak or Extra 260!
Their quality, and support is awsome! cant go wrong with Aero-Works

caurimare · 08-03-2007, 04:11 PM

with 3000 you can have a well equipped 33%, I personally think that SD planes are aweson so depending of what you like and type of flying chose your airframe. I am more into 3D so the 33% yak and DA-85 would be my choice.

2 Good · 08-03-2007, 04:43 PM

i will do a equal balance of 3D and IMAC

Freddy Warbird · 08-03-2007, 08:21 PM

Go 33%

2 Good · 08-03-2007, 08:29 PM

i was thinkin of that its not much smaller than a 35% and also cheaper and i was thinkin maybe the wild hare 33% 260? i just havnt seen a 33% sd models extra 260 vids or build threads so most likely extra 260 from wild hare

dubd · 08-03-2007, 09:15 PM

There are plenty of build threads on 33% sd yaks. Do a search here and on rcuniverse.

50cc is a good place to start. Concerning budget and or as a first gasser I'd pick a Wild Hare. They have a pretty wide range of planes that all fly great, are well built and made for the fliers budget.

2 Good · 08-06-2007, 12:17 PM

I now found out my budget in 2000

i live for 3D · 08-09-2007, 03:06 PM

well if your budget is $2000 i would definately be looking at used airplanes if you want a 33%.But what i would do is buy a good 50cc set up like the wildhare combos or an aero-works 50cc. I am in the same position as you know but my budget is $1,500 i will probbly be buying a wildhare combo or a nice used plane.
