Any R/C people here?

[FormulaZR]

Anyone else here into flying RC models? Or...RC stuff in general?

I will also be building a quadcopter for aerial video use...but that will be on the back burner for a little while. I still need to do some more research on them, and save up some money.

Here's my collection of completed aircraft - there are 5 or 6 still under construction, I'll get them posted when they are done.

Scratch built foamy SE5




Scratch built foamy DR1




Patriot glider - began life as a $1.69 foam glider from Bed, Bath, and Beyond




GWS Slow Stick - with V-tail and flaperons




HPI Delta Twin - complete with red Sharpie stripes




Dynaflite Piece O Cake - 72" wingspan electric motor glider, powered by an AXI 2808




Great Planes Big Stik 60 - 66" wingspan, powered by an AXI 4120




Sig Kadet Sr - 78" wingspan, powered by an AXI 4120

I'm not, but have to comment you have some cool stuff there! I think GotHalos and Havasu Party Bus have copters.

Nice stuff, I had a 42" R/C boat, but sold it after I had my first (and last) accident, drinking beer and operating doesn't mix in remotes either............................lmao.

Which is one of the reasons I do trains. I tried RC, and crashed all of it. I just don't have the ability to do that.... model trains don't crash...well, at least not like RC planes do...and I can drink a beer while I do it...nice...LOL....

I've had RC trucks and boats. I would break the boat almost everyday I used it so I ended up giving it away to a friend.

I've been thinking about buying another Traxxas Stampede, but I know if I do that I'll use it 3 times (unless break it sooner) then wait a year or so to go buy the part I need and fix it. You've gotta really be "into" it and I'm not anymore.

Something with tracks, that would be better, one hand for the speed control, one for my beer.
