I have an R/C Sail plane and an electric park flyer/slow flyer. You can get into the flying side of things now an almost ready to fly plane with a two channel radio, charger etc for $150 in the vancouver area. It's a great family sport.

I think the coolest thing was the flight simulator for the computer. YOu can crash your planes as many times as you want and it will come back. Gives you some practice until u r good.

Yeah but you can buy a nice plane etc for the $$ of the simulator... (you mean the one that uses your RC plane remote right?)

I dont know. ALl i know is that it has a great big remot and plays of the comp. But the nice thing about it is that you can never reck your plane. Just till you get good right.

LOL Willow...

Ryan there is a program you can get for your R/C plane it's basically a trainer that you can use your R/C controller with (as long as it's got the training adapter). You plug in your controller and fly your plane. It's not like flying a real R/C plane though, that's something a computer can't duplicate.

I have a pimped out Xmods car I think they are awesome...You can do alot of different things with them and they are pretty cheap considering...

I have been looking into a RC Helicopter I think it will be fun to fly build them right from scatch....I love all RC stuff....Have built my own controlers and everything before.

I once built a car like the one's you would see on Battle Bots or what have you...mine weighed in at 240lbs it was a fun adventure building it, I sold it a couple years ago for like $400 well worth it in my mind cause I didn't spend anywere near that much money to make it!!!

There is a helicopter trainer out there for R/C, it's kind of a...thingy.. um braces etc but it doesn't let the helo get out of whack. It's loose enough so you can screw up but it doesn't let it get out of control.
