OT: anyone do remote control AC?

[Fiasco]

Just curious as to if anyone else did remote control aircraft.

[Sparker]

If by "did" you mean wrecked, yes I "did" three of them in the last two months and I am working on the fourth.

[montu]

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

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.

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.

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.

Hi

 

Yes, I still have one...my X-Cell .60

 

Been thru a couple of accidents with her and subsequent rebuilds

 

Now I rarely find time to fly R/C

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.

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

What kind of camera do you use. I have an eDVR mini camera I've mounted on my 700 Watt A-10.

 

Here's a belly cam from our local flying field.

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.

[me shakes fist]

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.

One of my favorites.

The yellow bipe is one of my favorites ...

And this one is NOT a toy . . .

 

[MLH]

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

Payload capacity was too small so, went to Civic Helicopters in 1994.

Current state of payload capacity.

The flyable originals of the Concept 30 & gas X-Cell are still around.

Someone's an alfa fan!

[Helo-Pilot]

Yes I am.

 

Great planes, great flyers . . .

[Mr.Mike]

I crash my Blade CP as often as possible!
