i got one of those kits, i ahvent put it together though, my uncle also has one. its more like the top one. we were thinking of puttin the engine on an old rc chasis and throwing in some servos. it would fly...like have it 4 wheel drive, it would be crazy, some nice clean barings. those are pretty nice too. do you have any other rc ish?

DunDunDun, thats all we have. we aren't really interested in trucks/rc cars and that...jus the planes. those are the only 2 that we have, right now.

Wallrat, i know how to fly them, but i still want to have a little instruction with it. i had a little 3 1/2 foot WS electric one that i learned to fly with, so i understand the reverse steering stuff.

there is an extra 300L model i have been looking at at the airport we keep our 182 at. a real one, that is, not the model. Laughing it's onyl for $500, and it's ready to fly and comes with fuel.

Get some instruction for sure. I would fly the Tiger for a while, that C-182 won't be quite so easy. Have fun and as i said get plenty of instruction and join the AMA

Wakeboarddrumma, yeah me and my dad are going to take it easy for a while and only fly the trainer. the 182, i just might start it up every other day or so and just go out on the road or my neighbors driveway (since it's long and paved now) and just run it back and forth.

we have an AMA club at the landfill about 10 minutes away, so i think we are going there on sunday.

DunDunDun,
It is actually quite common to see this. Most places to fly these planes need to be out away from everyone so people don't mind the noise. And no, you don't leave the plane there, at landfills it is all buried trash.

i know what a landfill is, but usually when you crash from like a nice high spiral, the plan is pretty much S O L.

we have a lil airport in a farmers field in liek the middle of nowhere. and they wont let us run our rc cars there. what prikcs
