Fiasco Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Just curious as to if anyone else did remote control aircraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparker Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 If by "did" you mean wrecked, yes I "did" three of them in the last two months and I am working on the fourth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
montu Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I have a T-Rex XL and a Venom Ocean Rescue . I wrecked the T Rex last year when my battery died 10 ft in a hover. No time to auto. lol Jordan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbit Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I flew the helicopters competitively for 12 years. Got out when I figured I was putting more into it than the 'real' airplane I owned on an annual basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helidave Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 I've been flying rc helis for a few years. I have 3 at the moment, the little one has probably been rebuilt about 25 times from crashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icqa Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Got into them a few years ago with a Century Hawk Sport. Then got a little Blade CP which I learned to finally hover with and last year got one of those Air Hog microhelis. Tons of fun chasing around the kids the animals with that one.

Fiasco Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Here's a few videos of my prowess behind the controlls of an RC aircraft. Sorry no helo's. My personal preference is to cram as many watts into as small as an airframe as possible. http://media.putfile.com/360-watt-Wattage-Mig http://media.putfile.com/A10-Crash http://media.putfile.com/Flying-Stryo-KI-61-Maiden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robstoj Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 here's one on my TREX 600E (600mm blades) This is going to be my AP machine once I get my underslung camera mount sorted out. I also have a Raptor 50, TREX 450 and a Eflite CX2 coaxial. still prefer the 1:1 scale machines Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a belly cam from our local flying field. http://media.putfile.com/A-10-Belly-Camera Don't those EDF's sound great? I have differential thrust on the A-10 and you can here me going back and forth on the engines to keep my line on takeoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me shakes fist Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I have a Blade CP Pro but don't get to fly it much. There isn't much room around here to fly it and I only have 2 batteries so bringing it to a park is almost not worth because the flight time is so short. At the moment it's got a broken servo that I've been meaning to replace. It's a lot of fun to fly even though I only know how to fly it tail in.

MLH Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) Learned how to fly RC helicopters in 1992 with a Concept 30. Payload capacity was too small for all the electronic junk I was flying so, went to an X-Cell Gas graphite in 1993 http://www.qsl.net/kc6ccc/rcmodelng.htm Payload capacity was too small so, went to Civic Helicopters in 1994. http://www.civichelicopters.com/ Current state of payload capacity. http://www.vectorav.com The flyable originals of the Concept 30 & gas X-Cell are still around.
