Just flew my new RC airplane!
    #5948152 -

And I didn't crash it!! :grin:



Turned out to be MUCH easier to handle than I had expected. Much faster than the last model I flew, and way more aerobatic! Landing was a little rough, though...I clipped the landing gear housing by coming in too hot. No big deal though :smirk:

Yeah the plane is electric.

For planes I think electric is the way to go. WAY less hassle than the nitro engines.

Your neighboor's care is probably nitromethane powered, not gasoline. It'd have to be a pretty big one (like 1/5th scale or larger) to have a gasoline engine in it.

I've got a nitro buggy, too. It does about 50mph on the straights!



Cars are fun and all, but there's a lot more to do in the air in the way of tricks and such. The cars are really only fun for competition racing.

Yeah that happened to me once with one I was working on at work...took a nice chunk out of my thumb! Luckily it was an electric...the gas ones just take your finger clean off :smirk:

That looks like a great plane!
We just bought a small plane for a friend's birthday.



Quote:
The X-Flying Club Mini Bi-Plane is a truly exceptional micro RC flier. Made from incredibly hardy EPP poly-foam, and measuring just 28cm across, you can fly it both inside and out. It's only recently that someone had the nous to make virtually indestructible RC planes



It's a fun thing to play with for a first timer. The best bit is that it doesn't break. The only problem is that you can't fly on even slighty windy days unless you have a lot of space.

Now I want one too

Flight #2....not so great :smirk:

Did some nice snap-rolls, loops, and barrel rolls to show drtyfrnk how it flies.

Then I attempted one last barrel roll...and WHAM! into the ground. Looks like I'll need a new fuselage :smirk:

Ouch.

That's the thing i hated when flying RCs, always having to buy new parts.
