LOL! I wish I could go outside to fly, I would need to cycle my Batteries a few times to get them into shape but I can't get out any more. But I crewed a Huey Slick before 'Nam and learned to fly from my pilots and never got over the excitement.No waay!!you're the second person I meet here who does model flying!! I have 1 foammie parkflier and 3 helis. All electric as well.
Anyways, everybody, don't mind us, just carry on with conversation. Ok, I'm back to work.
Awesome! I see it's a flybar model from horizon? Pretty cool! I was going to fit a 600 size heli I had into a scale fuselage, but when I smashed her up, I changed my mind. That thing was beyond repair. Salvaged electronics from it and built 700 now. Flying pod and boom.
Haven't been out to the field lately because got some other stuff on my mind, so she's hanging on the wall for now..

My big bird is a Foamy UFO, 16 inches and is in two parts and in need of someone to install one of my four spare motors. The know how is here still but my motor skills are hiding inside my MS leaving the ship in pieces. I have a Bi-plane trainer, my design using two 12 percent P51 wings with ailerons and an english WW II BiPlane that needs the upper wing panels joined and the radios motor and servos installed, all sitting in a drawer. I miss flying a lot.

Planes crash...mine did when I had a pushrod break right after takeoff. Right after I had completed it.
It was made for loooonnnnggg flights of 30 minutes or more. Competitions abound around here on New Years day...first flight, longest flight, and fastest flight. Chili cook off going on at the same time.
Since then I was looking at cars or boats...they don't break as often.
But in the meantime I got work and leather.

I am into RC Helis and Cars. I had a Blade 350 QX3, MCX2, Nano QX, and a 130X. I used a DX6i to fly them all but have recently sold all of them because I cannot fly them LOL. I did retain a cheap RTF Ares CP heli. RC cars on the other hand are my specialty and I have 8 RC trucks that I enjoy regularly. I have a Traxxas EMAXX, TMAXX(Nitro), Summit, Slayer Pro 4x4(Nitro), Robby Gordon Dakar Edition Slash, Arrma Fury BLS, Helion Dominus SC10v2, and a HPI Firestorm 10T(Nitro). I am in the process of trying to save up for a 1/5th scale Gasoline Engine Truck or Buggy. This is a Hobby my wife shares with me so they are in fact ours and not mine. Everything is ours and not just mine. I got us back into it to help with her hand eye coordination and partial paralysis.

LOL! I never found one of the fairer sex that flew. I've noted ,however that the lass' are flying in the Ari force and the Army these days, maybe the hobby will catch on with them. My dad was in the Air Force and I was in Army Aviation and crewed a Huey so flying was a natural for me. I began with a Nobler and a Ring Master, control line stunt and a few wings. But as you pointed out, tinkering is required.I always fly alone where I'm located, so it was sort of feeling like a dying hobby. I guess not, cos just around here, we have like 5 model aircraft guys. Now all we need is a flyer girl..:yes
Hah, Taylor, good post. Hey, btw, my fairer sex(if it works put), has interest in electronics. She actually has college degree in electronics from Russia where she came from. I guess that's pretty close to what I'm doing with my Helis. Lots of wiring required. She's gonna love it when she sees it.
Picture this. Honey, I'm home, I'm hungry. "Ok ill be right there, sweetie, I'm fixing up the heli servos from the last week you did piledrive with, remember?"

2 You pile drive them and she rebuilds them for the next major crash!
You better kiss that girl a lot, the inside of the servos is tough territory and being a former in flight crew member, I love the rebuilds.

I would like to get a nitro F4U Corsair

I would love to fly that rascal! Hang that baby on it's prop out of my hand and transition into a climbing take off. We had the F4Us in Vietnam for Close Combat Support and the only thing better was the A1 and that was only because the A1 carried more assorted munitions and could deliver a bit more slowly. The Gull Wings are definitely sexy, plus!
Heh, Taylor, if all goes well, sir.
BTW, there are flight controllers for fixed wing birds that autohover for ya. Also they do automatic knife edge. I saw a demo. Pretty cool, it's like FBL controller for heli with bailout, but this one is for airplanes. You just control throttle.
PS-about servos. Mine withstood 3 good size crashes and one aircraft total. I put them into BIGGER heli and hoping for the best not to get chopped up. They're over 200 flights now.

Yep, but I did not need a radio to control my baby with when my big tool box was carried on board but jungle repair can e hectic! Some idiot always wants to shoot you off the maintenance deck... go figure!PS- rebuilds are fun when you can use your automotive tools and wrenches...that's when you know the heli is big enough.

Camera made it home. Planned on taking it out today, but it's been raining non-stop. I'll upload a couple shots next week.
It's a nifty little point and shoot. I'm hoping to upgrade in a year or two to one of those fancy $600 pieces of work. I've already been asked to do three different shoots for people, despite being brand new at this -- maybe I'll take them up on it and start building a portfolio, and put back a little money from it towards my next camera.

It looks like a beautiful Camera. I take pictures of everything. Thank goodness for cellphones these days. I should invest in a good camera though. Looking forward to any photo's you share.
