R/c Planes!

[fourbyboy]

yes, thats right, im stepping away from the cars and buggies.
hahaha


anyone on here fly?

i do no of one forumite who is in my flying club.


i own, 2 rumples (old men will no what they are, :D) a twister converted to low wing after a very low pass:p , a spree and a fling,

oh, and a few indoor planes.

Nah I stick to RC Cars and RC Boats.
I once had a Heli and found out

What goes up... Usually comes down.....rather expensively..

[Harb]

yep.....
I fly 1/5 scale giants.....

I have a few....
We moved a while back and they are still sitting in the container at my shed.....
I will see if I can find a pic or 2 later.....
I have a couple of exact scale rep's that I am to scared to fly hahaha, but I like looking at them.
My Biggest is a Laser stunt plane that has heavy model classification, so I can only fly it in certain area's and if it crashes I am even supposed to tell that CSA.
It has a 50 cc Twin in it.......
But I rather my Scale models, as they look so real....some have 4 strokes in them so sound good as well !
The biggest problem I have is somewhere to put them. If the wings are on, most are over 82inches wingspan , so they are a problem as they are always in the way.

I'm into Nitro 4x4 buggies as well and larger Power boats as well....26cc and above.

No Heli's yet...still to come ;)

Man i wish i just had a decent buggy, nevermind planes. The thing i have thought with planes is how do you not go out of range? and do they just continue too fly forward as some people say... forever floating away into the sunset?

[Harb]

haha It can happen !
You usually have a device on the reciever so if the signal os lost, it slowely spirals down into a very expensive crash !!

[fourbyboy]

umm, well, i just, dont fly to high, or too far away from myself.lol

ive never lost contact with my models, and all i use is a futaba 4EX transmitter.

[Harb]

yeah I like to keep em close.....
Its usually if the TX dies or batteries die unexpectantly etc
I have never had it happen yet....but I have seen it happen

[fourbyboy]

this is my rumple, only finished recently.


BUT i have to learn to thrash my twister before i can fly it...

shouldnt be complaining, the twister is a great plane. :D

[fourbyboy]

this is twister, :D

[Challenging]

Those twisters are good planes, a few people i no fly them but never owned one myself. I got a few .50 size planes as well as 3 helicopters. 2 .50 size and one electric one. I might look at selling off my gear soon as much as i like the fun it brings i need to cut back on a few hobbies. Just about to get married so i think 4x4 one i can get away with as the mrs can come along and not get bored:)

Mate flew a pitts and an extra but the biggest thrill i have had is strapping all the gear on to a toy plane (skyhunter 230) balancining it took a while but this thing will NOT break, so far have it flying dead straight/elevating but still working on aeliron control, think i have it sussed, gonna try it soon.
