Everything RC Thread

[hurley842002]

I've never been into anything other than cheap electric RC cars as a kid (nicest one I owned was a 4 wheel drive Radio Shack). Now that my boys are getting older, I'd love to get into either flying or 4x4's again. Not sure I can afford any new hobbies, but it would certainly be easier to justify to the wife if it were "for the children" lol.

LMAO it's for da kids!!!

I wish I could use that one

I have multiple electric planes, several rock crawlers, a nitro air boat, a snow cat, and a small multi-rotor copter.

I was big into racing on-road several years ago. Mostly touring cars and pan cars.

I've flown on and off since the late '70's. Back then, servos came right or left rotation, no such thing as servo reversing.

I have a half dozen electrics hanging on the wall, but my favorites are sailplanes. The last time I was semi-serious about flying I got into hand launched sailplanes. Picture lots of carbon fiber composites in extremely sleek designs. You launch them from the wing tip like a discus. It's very satisfying to catch a thermal, look up at your plane that's about to speck out and know you THREW it up there.

Haven't flown in a few years, but now that the kids are getting close to the right age I'm sure I'll pick it up again. I just bought my daughter her first balsa kit. It's a hand launch free flight glider. Not complicated, I'm just hoping to get the smell of balsa dust and glue in her nose.

I grew up building and racing on and off-road cars/trucks, nitro and electric. I raced pan cars for a few seasons and had a blast. Then I got into flight. Started with a foam electric plane and a fixed pitch heli which led me to variable pitch helis. That was a huge challenge and a lot of fun though it tends to take over other hobbies because there's so much rebuilding and tuning when you goof and ram it into the ground.

Right now I only own a multi-rotor (Yuneec Typhoon H Pro) which I use sporadically for side jobs (real estate and construction). I'm developing a website now and hope to do more of that. If time/money was more available I could see getting back into all sorts of R/C. It's a great hobby!

If anyone is interested in gasoline powered large scale im selling a pretty nice one for a good price.

If you don't fly spektrum I have a spare dx6 I could sell with it for a good deal.

I want another taylorcraft bad, they are great flying planes and you weren't joking that's a steal and half......Damn!!!!

How are you set on gunsmithing tools and 22 ammo

[fly boy]

thought about building a small backyard tract or air strip. Probably wont do an air field since the wind never stops here.

I do like the quads and wouldn't mind picking one up, I just don't like the short flying time with them. They are amazing for photography though.

I'm set on tools and ammo, thanks for the offer.

If I was willing to ship it it would sell pretty easily but this thing is big. It does have the split wing which is nice, they made a similar taylorcraft without the split wing and this is the one to have.

Yeah, it's tough to get a long flight-time with quads. My Typhoon H won't get 20 mins and batts are nearly $100 a piece. Like you said though, amazing photography platform.... SUPER stable and the gimble is rock solid.
