Mike D'Silva Posted 20April, 2018 Report Share Posted 20April, 2018 yeah... I got back into them several years ago.. and ended up "investing" heavily in Electric powered planes. 2 Meter Pattern, and also high speed pylon racers in excess of 200 kmh.. nuts.

Peter M Posted 20April, 2018 Report Share Posted 20April, 2018 I was badly affected for a long time too and was only saved by a 911. It all got a bit stressful in the end as they were either fast, crashed or on fire. Often all three! My favourites were the small geared folding prop composites like this one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D'Silva Posted 20April, 2018 Report Share Posted 20April, 2018 Peter I was BIG into hotliners.. the last one I had, was the FVK Kamelot which I imported a few in from Germany. Hacker B50 6S and a 16 "oversquare"prop.. the noise at launch was crazy due to cavitation. Power in excess of 2 kW.. Yes, that is me that the plane is running away from very rapidly!

Peter M Posted 20April, 2018 Report Share Posted 20April, 2018 Spent a lot of effort on foamies too. They all start as cheap toy planes: I think I've still got the world's fastest Stryker Q with a two way average of 199mph measured by Doppler shift to remove the triangulation error inherent with radar guns.

LeeM Posted 20April, 2018 Report Share Posted 20April, 2018 You want a large RC fighter? This is my favourite RC plane. Turn up the volume, as it sounds just like a Spitfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourites were the small geared folding prop composites like this one: I remember when I saw my first F5B when we had a visit from a German guy who was in Oz for the World Champs (many, many years ago). Absolutely amazed by the unlimited vertical on that - and this was back in Nicad days too!! I used to hang around with a group of glider guiders, but was never very good. RES electric gliders were good though as it meant you didn;t have to worry about a winch. I actually established a business called Oz E-Flight and used to supply a lot of electric stuff via one of the first Oz based on-line shops. I used to import Astroflight stuff from the US and Orbit highend chargers from the motherland. I still have a few electrics out in the garage, as I can fly from just behind my house now. However, am thinking about getting rid of them now as I never seem to find time to play with them since I got into P cars. I seem to be either tinkering, driving or on bloody PFA!!!

You must obviously have a large daily that can fit such things, certainly I could just about fit my good old Radian in my 996 and that's about it....

So far i've been able to fit a 1.8m PC9 and a 1.5 meter Tigermoth a, .60size F4u Corsair. The frunk holds the batteries and controller and starter and Nitro and Normal Fuel. lol It's a mission to get stuff in and out. But all those years of Tetris taught me well lol 1 hour ago, Mike D'Silva said: Pictures please ! Sure, how do i post a picture without the size limit.
