I only want to see a vid of it crashing

My brother in law is into the big ones, not bad to watch someone who knows how to fly them. He's crashed alot.

it must have destroyed your sense of spelling also Paul... reCeption

RC Cars is where its at.. I still got a pro racer 1/10 if anyone is interested

RC cars are better

My super hornet still goes hard Custom paint job and all!! Plus semi-slicks - w0000t!

I got one of the ~$200 RTR helicopter kits for Christmas 2006. Flew it inside for ages to get used to how it handles. Unfortunately, at low hover there's a massive amount of rotor wash (turbulent air 'recycling' back into the
rotors) which makes it really hard to control.

I decided that I couldn't be bothered doing it slow, so I took it outside... Yeah, not the greatest of ideas. By the time it was off the ground, it had veered off over the pool. Of course, I'm forced to keep it in the air at which point the breeze blew and took it next door.

I'm standing in the back yard of ma and pa's with my brother and dad watching me lose my new toy, all the while giving me totally useless "advice". It sort of all ended when I hit the top of the plam tree next door.

Two bent rotor shafts (it counter-rotates two sets of main blades using a sleeved drive line) and three busted blades later...

Sigh.

The next day my brother and I went out and bought RC cars. I managed to strip the gears in the front and centre diffs after 10 minutes...

Stupid hobby.

Thats farken awsome. Hahahah.

I flew model gliders when I was younger.... best way to learn aircraft control as theres no motor to you get you out of trouble! My step father was big into it (competition level etc) so I ended up following for a bit. Helped knowing the owner of a top hobby shop in adelaide too!!

Ive only now gotten back into RC cars. I have a 1/10th scale TT-01 - setup for drifting. Sheit loads cheaper than modding the RS, so having some fun with that. Just weekend muck about stuff with a good mate who has the same setup.
Im just chuffed I kept all my old transmitter and receiver gear. That has to be the most expensive part of the whole thing.

As for choppers... big ups to anyone who can control one!!

I have two RC Heli's.

This one is a little hard to fly, and is broken at the moment.

This one is a lot easier, but still hard. It also is awaiting a new set of rotors and a recharge to go flying again.

My sisters bf said he would sell me his big nitro for $600, 1800 rotor span, it's awesome, and loud, but it will probably just become and expensive ornament.

Fun post guys!

I bought a Helicopter and crashed it within week. It was totally repairable but I never go around to fixing it.

My focus has now shifted to a scale model Couta sailing boat, which I'm building up to look exactly like my real life one that I race. It's great fun building something from scratch rather than having it ready to go out of the box.
I've stripped the Helicopter and am using the servos to control the rudder and trim the sails!

Perfect!
