didnt fly them much though was to disapointing
to get one up and have it crash *is a horible pilot*
I did run rc cars all the time includeing one i built fromscratch dang near
was a mix of a trx1 a kyosho and some scratch built parts was the badest rc
car i ever saw i had a crash bar on the fron the was sort of shaped like
this > eheheh some other guy had a old barrbie rc car body with real rc car
stuff in it painted black.
i hit him when he lept cutting me off.

I've done it a coupla times, theres a landfill up around here thats always FULL of these guys. Apparently packed dirt on top of
garbage makes a great surface to land on as it won't chew your plane up too bad if you sneeze or somthing :)

o for those who are interested in planes car helocopters contro line crafts
etc go to
http://www.towerhobbies.com they have every thing you will need o yeh get
the mop ready
your gona druel over soem of the stuff they got :)
i sugest for the beginer rc pilot a ugly stick plane or one of the other
"stick planes" they are basicly ugly boxxy but nearly indistructable planes.
also rc gliders are good for intermidiate pilots they fly nice and slow
making them easy to keep from crashing.
dont start with a helo to hard to fly period you need leasons for them and
they are deadly if you loose control freing had to get 12 stickes from a
rotor blade hiting him.

Not so expensive, right, the transmiter receiver cost, but a plane is cheaper
than a RC car

a simple plane can be repaired easily without to spend a lot of money, if
the motor is still ok

i had a good digital transmitter receiver for (converts french Francs to US
$)......

350 $

a plane for 150 $

well, for 500 $ you can fly, but take lessons, because it bother to repair
the plane each time you fly LOL !

i had a R/C pilot certificate and made acrobatics :))))
