I have been thinking on getting my kids an rc plane. Of course I would have to test it out first and make sure its safe and all ;).. I like the gas ones. I thought this one looked pretty cool for the price.

I would like a gas one though. I always wanted to strap some bottle rockets to one somehow and figure some way to light them while in flight. It would be like its shooting missiles :eek::D..
Get them a $25-75 one haha. mine was 90 and we managed to wreck it in an open area.

House fliers are the best! look for one called the night vapor. strictly inside flying but still be fun
 
Well i placed an order for enough electronics to build 2 RC planes. Only one transmitter though :p

I didnt really know what all i needed, or what specifics. so i ordered a 1000kv motor and a 2200kv motor. just because i didnt know

2 receivers, 2 batteries, 2 speed controllers ETC. misc stuff for building. hinges, horns, CF tubing and solid for push rods

if anyone is interested in the builds i can make a thread. otherwise it will be a random post in here
 
big and little brother side by side today

I decided I wanted to fly a little bit today. Very quickly I realized the tape on the wing from over a year ago needed to be reinforced. I took the wings off and taped top and bottom over both broke spots.

I'm flying in the ally behind our house because it's too windy to drive somewhere and go. I quickly realized I needed to reinforce the front. I shoved the prop back inside the body, broke the foam inside. I had a scrap half inch foam and put that in. I also didn't want to destroy the nose like last time so I used a pop can for strength.

At this point I'm surprised it's even flying :)
 
i do have 1 of those 30 dollar helicopters:) kinda like "airhogs" but different brand same price though.
bought for son at christmas,i have not even used it in like 1 1/2:)
i was using it 1 day landed it really hard a 1 of the runners or whatever it is called broke:)
yet it still flys lol

those traxxas toys are tough as heck i have bashed it pretty hard nothing has broke yet..
even got the axle wedged in a bicycle brake lever did not realize it and was going back n forth
i was standing far away lol
 
Ahhh,,, I did a dirty :oops:.. Was all set up to do heat cycles and all, everything torqued, carb cleaned and to spec , fresh gas , fresh plug etc.. Kicked and kicked and kicked.. No start,,, good spark pulled carb about 10+ times. Iced my leg cus I thought it was going to fall off. I sat fir a bit and had a brewsky (or 2 :confused:) and thought a little bit... Long story short,, I left the dang plug in the exhaust from when I did a leaktest,, DOOHH!!! Pulled it out and she started second kick..

Details boys, Details.. If I hadn't remembered when dirty posted that id prob still be kicking.. Id have one Incredible Hulk looking leg alongside one that looks like Steve Urkles'.... :eek:
 
I'm glad that forgetting to remove your exhaust plug after a leak down test is called a dirty. Lol

It can be mind boggling trying to figure out what Is wrong. It took me close to a week to figure it out last summer.

I've forgotten to remove my orange muffler plug a few times and had the same result. Once, it started and shot the plug out and sounded like a gun going off...lol

Takes me a while every time i start my dirtbike to remember plugs... my dads blows out if he forgets

i can kick all day and it feels the same with/without the plugs in. but unfortunately only starts with them out
 
While the CZ might not be a cream puff, that shovel handle would be going where the sun don't shine for beating on it.
Not to mention what I'd do for touching my family.

I'd be on the phone asking WTF ???? !!

That's crazy Harley, maybe it works both ways! Jus_me, I got mine out on fathers day to go ride a little. Had it started the night before, kicked 5 or 6 times, and thought crap, its never this hard to start, then I remembered, I forgot the key! I do that quite a bit actually lol
