    Buy the vac-u-boat hull, cheapest entry point into the hobby.

    My mom said I can buy the Vac-U-Gearing in December, but for now, I'm attempting to scratch build the Fletcher from plans I already had.

    Get the radio and internals. they can be used on the Gearing. TGY-i6 is hard to beat. All the new destroyers and a number of larger ships ran them at Nats.
