Default ConRadical's getting a new 150CC Plane... YOU PICK IT!

Ok guys, this is thread 1 of 3, getting a new plane. The plane is going to be completely chosen by what the FG community wants -- of course it's going to be pimped with FG swap all over it!
Background..
I'm getting a new plane setup completely, you guys get to chose EVERYTHING except you can't choose is the RX, it's going to be the Weatronics fully decked out with the GPS.. etc
see: http://www.flyinggiants.com/forums/s...ead.php?t=6058

I'm getting everything new so start posting your thoughts, starting with the airframe down to the control horns. Once there are a bunch of post i'll start sorting through everything and make a poll where every member can then vote. (Thread # 2 of 3)

Of course, after the polls done and i'll be the final Thread, 3 of 3.

Get on it boys! Keep it clean and the vendor bashing out!

You will find that your going to end up with the same amount of money in pretty much any top model out there. Comp, Dalton, Carden ect. Only difference is you wont know because every part is being baught at different times. I just built a simple 35% plane for a friend and used all the discounts and everything from Tower on servos ect. Came out to 3,700 bucks! That was the cheapest I could built it for.
Also only a 900 dollar airframe.
