    Super Cub LP is a great starter. It's a foam plane and is only 3 channel rudder, tail, and throttle. About $200 for everything including Lipo battery and charger. Can also buy an optional float set to land and take off from water. Although foam, pretty durable and easy to fix. Check youtube for videos.

    Sounds like a pretty good deal!

Gonna save up and get a 15% larger pulley for the supercharger and go eat some Mustang GT's
    What year is your Binnie? My sister in law had a 2007 and the transmission was all kinds of fucked up. The later years supposedly ficed the problem but my father in law never failed to tease her about it not being original. He used to race the British models in the 60s and never lost the love for the originals.

    05 S 6 speed manual ,supposedly a Getrag transmission .We drove an 07 S and it was turbocharged,it was OK but the boost came on weird to me. With the 05 being supercharged there is 0 lag if you are above 2000 rpm . Its just haul ass to 7 grand and shift repeatedly I got the new pulley on with no problems in approx 2 hrs start to finish. I like the old Brit ones but to be honest all Brit cars are a 1/1 repair/drive ratio and it's Candys car so its gotta be reliable.

    That's quite about the Brit cars but my FIL was a car nut. He had 3 running and 6 for parts at his peak. The NW mini club he helped found had a reunion a few years back and it was so cool to see the all the originals. They even had a mini moke.

    I haven't flown a RC plane in a year, but now you got me thinking i need to get back in to it.
    You want a cheap good plane that damn near anyone can fly look at this one we flew it in every state in the USA parts of Canada and Hawaii.

    Its a tough little bastard and easy to fix.
    I had my hands on it early on and it survived to make it over 100 flights.
