Pics of my New RC Planes

[{OF}G_Man]

I didn't build these. I bought these at a recent RC swap meet.
I bought these for a fraction it would have cost me to build and equip myself.

Wow, those are awesome! I've always enjoyed such a hobby as RC planes, which I could do it, but being a teenager doesnt lend itself to well to such a hobby... maybe in the future, in the mean time I'm very jealous. Awesome!

I would love to see those things fly !

The WW1 bi-plane is especially cool.
Have you got any choppers?

[Harbinger]

Very cool!
Do they fly?

[{OF}G_Man]

Thanks Everyone.

Dudio: No choppers. Never really got interested, and now they are beyond my reflex/skill set. I like to fly the wings.

Harbinger: I haven't flown these myself yet, but they all have been flown by others. All RC planes I own I fly. I do have some favorites that make me very nervous when I fly them, and have sworn on a couple of occasions after some close calls that I would turn them into museum pieces, but the point for me is in the flying.

Chem: Your turn will come, just give it some time.

Model airplanes have been my hobby since I was 10 years old. I built lots of gliders and rubber band jobs. My dad and I flew control line (U control). We didn't have a lot of money so everything was done on the cheap, but we still managed to build and fly a few planes.
I didn't get into serious (modern) radio control until 1989. After both parents passed away by 2002, I got the "bug" again. As you can see, I am an True Old Fart. I never had any kids, and everything I own is paid for, so I have been indulging myself the last couple of years and buying/building planes that I only dreamed of when I was a young'un. I don't know how many healthy years I have left, so I decided I was going to enjoy my hobby more seriously. I really like the scale and sport planes the best. Even though they are awesome, helicopters, 3D planes, electrics, and jets don't interest me that much. I like aircraft that fly on a wing(s) above stall speed, and have nitro and gasoline engines (I love those engines). Hehe, so much for a quick reply.......

[dudio]

I think it's great you have that hobby that you enjoy G-Man !
(lot worse things you could do .. right ?)


I remember my friends having a wired plane (U-Fly)
It was cool !
Always wanted to get into RC aircraft,
but then again there was dirtbikes and stuff.
I do have a $50 RC AirHog for the kids tho !
