I have an Air Hogs dragonfly helicopter which is great fun in the house, it flies very stable when you have the trim adjusted properly, I was quite surprised with a price tag of only $29.99 but it's so small the battery only keeps it flying for about two minutes per charge. It's well made though, I've crashed it a million times and it still flies like brand new. I like hovering it in front of my cat, it drives him nuts when I lower it towards him and then take it back up before he decides whether or not to catch it. :) The trim gets reset every time you turn off the tx though. :( And it takes about 40 seconds of flying time to get it trimmed again, which doesn't leave much time for flying.
I built a balsa and tissue airplane with a rubber band motor. It flew beautifully but I only flew it once because I don't want to break it and once I paint it, it will probably be too heavy, at least that's what the plans say. Maybe if I paint it, but then add a small electric motor I could have a plane that would fly a few miles and I would never recover it. :) Or I could add some servos and control surfaces, an rx, a tx, and whoopsadaisy, I would have a tiny balsa plane that's nearly as expensive as a cheap park flier but I would need zero wind and if I have a rough landing it will be smashed to smithereens. :)
I want to get into gas models, but unfortunately they are priced out of my budget. :( I'm just a poor boy and even poorer now that I lost my main job. I should go to the RC airfield when the club meets and try to beg someone's old trainer that they were gonna e-bay. Those old rich guys wouldn't miss the $75 or whatever that they would get from it. :)
Kites are a favorite of mine, they aren't too expensive, they're nearly impossible to break, and they have zero operating costs. Not on topic though, hehe.
Oh, but all of the above must not be true because everyone knows smoking pot makes you sit on a couch whenever you're not running over pedestrians and watching your siblings drown. :)
stonerreak- try dialling in some negative camber. r u running stock wheels and tires?? i've been rc'ing for about 25+ yrs. used to race, but don't have time to do it regularly now. in my rc garage now ive got--
-rc10gt-former race vehicle, rb concepts x12 rear exhaust. fast, good handling racer.
-nitro mt- stock w/ rb engine, custom made steel gears, etc...
-original t-maxx- slightly modified for realiabilty and strength.
-rc18t- stock with good micro esc w/brakes
-fg mt-5- 1/5 scale, steel gears, oil filled stainless diff, front disk brakes, mod pipe, mod air filter, custom head lights, custom dual shocks all around. bad ass machine.
-nitro ducati 999- mod pipe, tires, rear shock. fun.
-ofna blazer sst- 1/8 scale racer 4x4--rb engine, pipe, custom shocks,brakes, body,wheels/tires, air filter.
-1970's nitro tunnel hull boat- FAST!!! 65+ on the water.
-rc flight simulator- so i can learn to fly cheaper.
glad to hear there are more rc'ers on here. if you got questions, i might be able to help. few things are better than a day of kind buds and racing rc!!
have fun..:thumbsup:
yah i got the stockies on there. i think that might be the problem, the sides probably like to catch. the tread on these things are pretty big there as big as my tumb height wise if i put my finger print side down on the tire.
that rc18t sounds awesome you run an 18b shell under your truck body? i have this ollld ass rc car action mag from 2007 that has this whole heavy metal rc18t article this guy did every thing aluminum then swapped out the motor and ecs thing looked hella bad ass
vaped dude you got alot of space to run them things or wat? those things look crazy as fuck
i have a couple indoor helis, does that count?
I'm thinking of purchasing one of the helicopters fitted with an HD video camera for this summers festivities in the streets. Would be a great way to see the action with out being assaulted by the nazis.lol
