Default Five Hundred Dollars
Hey guys,

I have five hundred dollars burning a whole in my pocket for an airframe. Thinking gas, either 26-50 cc range. Huckin only. Whatever plane I buy it must be a 3D machine. I have a 96" extra I may convert to IMAC only(reduce throws etc.) and need another plane to satisfy my hucking needs. Any suggestions? - again, $500 limit, so that leaves out the $649 EF 50cc planes and the AW 50cc'ers, etc.

Give me some choices!

no it doesn't have to be 50cc... but I would prefer 70" or bigger. Something like the ef 74" with a brillelli 46.... just looking at my options and want to make sure I've looked at them all lol.

Not a big fan of the GP line... Although the ultimate does look tempting.

I'm thinking I might just have to save a little and go for the new 3DHS 87" Extra or an EF in the 88" range....

In the real world? Just trying to start a thread to help people find decent planes on a budget...I'm not talking $500 for the whole plane, just an airframe. And there are lots of them out there!
