Just bought a Spektrum DX6 to put in my EDGE. Then thought to myself how much I would really like to have a Cessna as well. The Ultrafly looks great (the flaps and all) Then I thought what about a hoccico Select EP and I don't really have the room for the extra wing span. It seems that all the foamies come with radio gear of some sort which I do not need and adding an extra $75 to the package. I have searched the ends of the net looking for the best deal on an ultrafly cessna, battery, and ecs. Yet still I will be investing another $170 or better in a foam plane. Aejer, if you are out there, tell me what you think. BTW if anyone has an ECS at around 20 amp that you are not currently using, shoot me a price.

At this point I don't have enough "extra" stuff laying around to get one of these airflrame only and stuff my own motor, ecs and batteries in.

Always looking for the better deal...........

There are lots of Cessna models out there. Why does it have to be this brand?

You are asking why an RTF has to be RTF. It doesn't, but that is how this company sells it. So buy someone else's ARF.

Or build the exact plane you want from the spare parts list:

Build this one from replacement parts

Did that help?

Not yet......Going to work with my 540 Edge for a while. Just got the Spektrum DX6 dialed in on it and have yet to really test its limits.
