Both. I would like to have a RC meet.

It's sad that we are the only two that play with RC toys around here.

I blew up one about a month ago, does that count?

I'm into electric RC planes and EDF jets but nearly all of mine are still in their original boxes, not yet built. Time... money... health... etc. I'll likely keep a very few and sell the rest. It makes no sense to have all this money tied up in dozens of planes I'll likely never use.

I've got a "Dueces Wild" to build, along with all the goodies to build it, but since we are still settling in from our move, I don't have a place to build it, yet.

Crush, kill, mangle, maim, destroy.

Now that Curtis is gone that is...

Lol.

I don't either. I stole the dining room table, moved it to another room, and put a piece of foil backed foam on top to build on. Kinda small but has worked ok.

If I did that (again) my wife would plotz!

I'm going to have to be patient and get my workbench in order as soon as I can.

Crush, kill, mangle, maim, destroy.

Does any company make the old fashioned gas cox engined wire controlled or RC airplanes any more?

 

[Mike1234567]

Do you really want control line models?

Old style balsa/plywood models are still made as are gas and nitro motors. I'm guessing control line models are still available too but I can't imagine choosing those over RC versions.

A quick Google search yielded this as a start:

There's still a few companies selling control line. Check out TowerHobbies, pretty sure I saw some control line models in their last flyer.

I built a balsa P 47 with an 049 engine back in 1963 or 64. It was a fun plane to fly. I guess I am thinking about the doped stretched fabric wings and body, the wire controls and how much fun it was. Oh yeah I did crash it a couple times, finally burned up but it was fun. I suppose, electric motors leave a lot to be desired for me I think a gas engine with its sound rules. I think I would like to find one again, or maybe even on of the plastic version of the gas engine/ airframe

I started on electrics. Seems the majority of modelers have gone to electric for the convenience, I went to nitro for the sound of an engine running.

Only have 2 stroke nitro right now but once I get brave enough to crash a war bird I will move to 4 stroke nitro or gas. Just couldn't have a P-47 flying around sounding like a weed eater.

Seen them. Was looking at an FMS P-51 with a sound system. They're pretty cool, not as cool as actual gas though.

Okay then... got $1900?

No need to spend that much. A 1.2 gas engine will have a good sound to it and can go in a reasonable sized plane, like a .60 to .90 warbird. The 4 blade prop it could turn will give a better scale appearance as well.


Got the bottom of one float glassed. Waiting for the resin to dry to I can sand off my newb mistakes. Did better than I though I would.
