So...I just got an RC plane to play around with when I'm bored.  I can fly it around pretty well and it's a lot more fun than I thought it would be.  Does anyone on here have any cool planes?  I bought a Super Cub from Hobbyzone.

It's so tempting to buy a plane now.  They would be so fucking fun.  I could probably pull it off in my neighborhood too.  Just takeoff down my street and hopefully be clear, haha.

fields work a lot better till you're mad good...you'd be surprised how fast they are, especially with obstacles like houses and telephone poles...

My mate down the road flies his of his rof, he throws it and shoves on the power to get it flying then catches it for landing, its a push proppeller though so its behind the wing, that way their is no prop to get in the way when catching. Only problem with your plan is you need to be able to see the plane at all times, if you lose sight of it behind a house on your street without a doubt it will crash and be lost.

haha.  I just watched the sample videos they had, and right when it took off, I said, nevermind.  There's lots of fields really close to me though, so I could fly it there.  $170 is na really good deal though, I just wish I could spend money on something like that.  Damn, looks like so much fun.

i built a gas powered race boat a couple years ago....it goes like 50mph but i keep breaking prop shafts because the engine has too much torque.  big waste of money in my mind haha

my mate is into all the RC stuff.  He has a boat, few cars and helicopter which is pretty sick! All very expensive though

I work at a store that sells hobby stuff, and the guy that's in charge of the section is pretty into helicopters and a little into air planes. I have a couple rc trucks but I dont plan on getting into the aircraft sector, lol. Pm me if you need anything weird or anything like that I'll see what I can do.
