Oh, and for the record: HobbyPeople (
http://n.ethz.ch/student/mmoeller/fms/index_e.html) are selling a micro RC airplane (~9"wingspan) for the same price. You can get a "Z-plane"(another micro plane) for about 30$, but they're junk and not worth buying.
Oh, and for those who want to try flying an RC plane on the cheap: there's some freeware here (
http://n.ethz.ch/student/mmoeller/fms/index_e.html) called FMS. It's spyware-free, and actually works quite well. There are hundreds of downloadable planes on the web, and it can use many different types of remote controllers as joysticks.
