Damn Denz that's pretty big.

I don't have any but I've always wanted one of those 'gas' powered cars.

This plane is a 60 size Super Skybolt, it has a .90 OS Motor. I have a Futaba 8 Channel Computerized Radio.
It took me 6 months to build it from a kit. (not an ARF)

Kewl. I have a nice battery powered RC off-road car/dune buggy. I love it, except that it chews through battery packs every ten minutes. :/

Hence why it's collecting dust. :P

I love building models still, or anything 'mini'. I've always wanted to move into model airplanes and copters but I just don't have the room for another hobby atm.

Oh yes, nice plane btw Denz. I'd love to see you fly it. Can you do stunting with it? Just loops and such, nothing crazy.

From what I've heard, it takes a lot of practice to just not crash the plane, especially upon landing. Which I can believe.

I never liked the small battery planes, too squirlly in the sky. I like the larger ones, they fly real close to the real thing.

After watching the video of the flying boats the other day, I was wondering what would happen if you had 100 RC airplanes, put them all on the same radio frequency, spaced them apart a foot or so to account for the wind, and flew them.

It would work, right?

I do have a RC Speed boat, never used it though. It's new and I haven't had anytime to get out and play with it.
