    I love RC planes, there's this empty lot in the city where people gather just to fly their RC planes, & we used to go there to just park & watch these small toy planes flying around. :)

    Yes planes are nice too, a bit more complicated to use them in a daily basis :)

    But I'm sure I'd like to have one like this : [​IMG]

    Is it difficult to pilot ? I don't want to crash it during the first takeoff :)

    My first flight cost me a few hundred dollars and lasted about 7 seconds. It was magnificent :D

    If you're seriously interested in learning how to fly, the most important thing you can do is buy a good plane that will actually fly. ParkZone make some decent stuff that you can fly out of the box. A lot of it is only just above "toy grade", but as far as bang for buck goes, it's a good way to get into flying without spending silly money.

    Something like a Slo-V (if you can find one) is a great place to start:

    You can take your hands off the sticks and eat a sandwich without it crashing :)

    Ok, ok, you and my son won :( I bought two ... one for him, one for me :)

    The Slo-V you mentioned and the TW748 F4U Corsair I bought on Twift as I'm a big fan of pepe Boington :) I'll keep you informed on how long it last before the crash :)

    never had a rc-plane, only a couple of helis,
    all ill say is fly it where u have good amount of space!

    the first heli i got, i got so excited, i unpacked it and flew it within my house,... just to see things,...
    and i did manage to break a couple of good things around :(, plus the rear rotor!

    the planes you mention look really impressive, ..let me know how it went :)

    I'm surprised that there aren't more DP nerds into RC.

    Assuming you're willing to put in a bit of research, it's now ridiculously affordable to build a stupidly fast electric RC plane. Here's a nice example of a Funjet, insanely fast, easy to fly, apx cost (standard build) $200:

    I totalled my Funjet yesterday, full throttle into the ground (radio glitch) :D
