Anyone into R/C?

Have you ever flown at all? Is there a local club you can join, or at least hang out with and ask questions. Most pilots are more than happy to help new comers out. Are you thinking nitro or electric (my recommendation). All the guys at my flying field steered me towards a EasyStar, not the sportiest mind you but to give you a good feel for everything. After you learn orientation and all then you can get a little more advanced aircraft.

 

I just don't want you to get abird that's over your head, then become discouraged because you can't fly it.

 

Ah R/C... Another hobby come and gone.

I was pretty hard into it for approx a year and a half. I started out with 4x4 short course, and then went to 1/8th scale Buggy. Had a blast, blew loads of money, I'm actually in the process of selling a few things.

If anyone needs 1/8th scale wheels/tires - I've got em

 

understandable. I just bid on a CX2 on Ebay. Hopefully I'll get a good deal!

 

For anyone just getting into the hobby.... anything EFlite is the way to go! They fly great right out of the box and are labeled for skill level.

 

The T-28 Trojan is one of my favorite planes. Make that your second plane!

 

I was torn between a T28 and the park zone corsair, those were the exact planes recommended to me for my second plane, I picked up the Corsair and love it. It was my first four channel plane.

 

Dangle, look over on Helifreaks in the classified section you can usually find some good deals on used helicopters. Lots of good info there as well.

 

will i need to change my power box? not sure of the name of it. im extremely noob to this. i bought it off a co workers father. was told it was in good shape... well since then ive put in 2 motors and ive had it 2 months and maybe 2 hours of run time... lol

 

Do you mean your ESC if so, no that we'll not have to be changed.

 

Thanks for the input. Easy Star... just looked it up. Practical, affordable, and with the exception of aileron controls, it's a good starter. I'll have to look up to see if there is an RC club here. There used to be and they flew at a field near where I live but haven't seen them in a couple years.

Thanks again.

 

If you think you want ailerons, look up another one, I think it's Sky surfer. Very close to the same layout, but with ailerons.

 

It keeps growing

 

You should send me one of your scx10s to help with the epidemic

 

Anybody want my ofna?.......

 

why are you selling it?

 

I want a crawler....


tired of going to fast and breaking shit, mostly.

 

You no likey no more?

 

If i had a local track to go to, it would be different. I'd like to have a heli and a crawler.. More versatile for my use

 

crappy video from today, track was under water so I played a bit on the parking lot before leaving... #$%^&* rain
