hey krunal....

m a newbie too.....

this weekend i couldnt go to fly.....coz i had to visit ma elder bro ....n there is a small lake near his  house....

so i build a simple air boat.....trust me, its the most easiest boat that you can build in a short period of time.

this build will surely increase your moral  and confidence in RC activities...

Many free plans available on net. You can take any cabin cruiser or air boat.

First of all you decide which model do you want to go with? and yes budget also fix it then move forward.
