Our Current Plan:

Decide between 2 planes

There are 2 AMA events (planes) we can compete in -- acrobatics and free flight

Currently viewing parts to purchase for the plane (motor, servos, transmitter, receiver, gyro, etc.)

A budget plane can cost around $120 + $~90. A competition-ready rig can be as low as $600 or as high as $2000. It just depends on how much you want to achieve.

Our goal is to build a functional plane and fly it.
