Old Guy RC - 1System Pod
What's the big deal? $99 for a complete, balanced, already thought out system for 6-15 oz airplanes. Add another battery, add servos for elevator, and ailerons in the future if you like. But this is a great expandable RC system that you wont have to replace.

The1System pod has the Zippy 350 mah Lipo battery, Turnigy AX-2203C 1400KV/60W Brushless Outrunner Motor, ESC throttle control, HK 3 ch receiver installed. The battery can easily be removed, or left in place to charge. The 1System pod installs to any Old Guy RC plane by plugging in the rudder servo and putting a rubber band on.
The propeller attaches with a prop saver system.
The Lipo charger is a field charger powered by a 9-16 volt battery. The total weight of the 1System pod including landing gear is 3 oz. How do all the electronics fit in the pod? It's already figured out for you.

Build your own 1System pod and use your own electronics. You can use the suggested list and descriptions as your shopping list. Keep in mind the components listed are balanced. Try not to venture too far from the specs. Any Radio and receiver will work if the receiver is small enough.
You will need foam board, and lite ply 1/16" from a hobby shop, glue gun, 1/16" music wire for the landing gear, the lightest gauge music wire you can get for control linkage and some sandpaper.
