Just curious if anyone flys Rc aircraft?
It's been a few years but I still have all of my aircraft! I have posted a few of them here is this thread! Other HobbiesJust curious if anyone flys Rc aircraft?
Just curious if anyone flys Rc aircraft?
What a combo… Guitar playing and gas powered planes… clear prop!!
I started the rc thing back in 2014 and still at it but not as much. It’s a great hobby!
Maintenance flight crew pics included haha
I have flown RC airplanes off and on for most of my life. I took about 12 years off, a couple of times. Just got back into it in the past few months. Had to get a new 2.4 GHz transmitter, receivers, batteries, charger, etc., as technology has changed a bit.
I built a four motor, tilt wingtip, vertical take-off/landing (VTOL) foam profile thing back when I was just taking a break. But only flew it a couple of times. The tech at the time was not up to the tasks needed. Not the case any longer. It is fairly inexpensive and quite capable of doing what I need. It feels strange being a total noob at something. lol.. Several successful flights so far. Still dialing in the settings for the 'Quad' and 'Fixed Wing' modes, as well as the transition. Using it as a proof of concept test bed. I hope to build a better quality version with a fuselage, airfoil wings, retracts, and maybe ducted fans instead of props?
I will try to get some better pics, and hopefully some video soon. I call it 'The Taint'. It taint a Quad Copter, and it taint an Airplane.
Yeah I had a few foamies over time. I eventually repainted a few. It’s a shame that people don’t build as much Glow fuel is way $$$ but it smells great lolThose are some nice planes! I started way back in the 80's with RC and have been bumping along through the years. It's interesting how it has changed. Everything is electric and foam. Nobody wants to put the time in to building anymore. Glow engines are dying a slow death in favor of gas or Electric.
I need to dust off the planes and break out the radio and clear the cobwebs!
Thanks! These are foam planes and edf jets that come pretty much ready to fly. I just repaint them to my likingNow those are some very nice planes love the jets. Did you build all of those because they are beautiful. I just had my nitro planes down and run them.
