Hi all,  I decided that i wanted to become involved with flying model planes after a mate of mine had his own plane and i thought 'I have to start doing that!'  Seeing as im on holiday from school, i spent the last few days searching around for cheap starter planes. I thought i would start elecric but ive decided that i want to go straight for a petrol one (or whatever fuel mix is used!)  I searched around and found this. http://www.servoshop.co.uk/index.php?pid=ASALE2JP What do you think????? I am on a really tight budget and as this is an airframe only for can anyone tell me exactly what i would need to get this up and running. Keeping costs to a minimum please. From my recent research i gather that i need:-  Engine, 4 servos, a receiver, tank, and controller.  Can anyone suggest good parts for this or anything else that i need?  Many Thanks  krazykop
