Default How many here fly Rc Aircraft? What do you have...

I do, Most of my planes are Scale, though some are Sport... Most are E-Flite, though I do have a few home built foam board planes and a couple bigger balsa planes, Seagull Spacewalker II, and a Hanger 9 Carbon Cub. The C.C. will be my first gasser, and is currently my biggest plane, 5th scale 91" wingspan, weighing in at 11 pounds, and getting a 15cc evo gas motor making over 2 hp... Power! seven high torque servos are required and 5 channels, for flaps ailerons, throttle, elevator, and rudder. Controlled with a Dx8 g2.

If you have never flown an Rc, I recomend it. Flying is a huge challenge of coordination, timing and judgement. Find a local club and ask for a buddy box session.

started flying again in the early 2000s. mostly 3d is all i fly. have 20+ planes currently from indoor stuff, to giant scale. been exclusively electric for the last 6-8 years, but last year did pick up another gasser for the first time. a 92" 3dhs Edge with a 72cc engine.
all of our balsa stuff is 3d hobby shop, or extreme flight. our foamies are Skywing.

few of the indoor planes


few of our mid size electrics, 51-60"


me and the old man about to fly the 92"


currently building a 6S EFXtra to do 110+ mph, and a 60" Slick 580 for 3D.

I'm down to about 7 now.

Mostly 5-minute joy jobbers like the Stinger 90...by far my favorite. Now when I fly my prop planes 10+ minutes it feels strange.

A couple of balsa ones like the Hanger 9 Spit. Was trying to sell it last summer without success so next summer its going up do or die.

Having the most fun now with this micro now that I have it trimmed correctly.

Very cool, thanks for posting guys. Anyone else?



I put a couple planes up today, First day in months I felt the weather was good enough. Mid 30's and sunny for once, also no wind. Yay!

I use to be really big into rc helis.

I've had 600s and down to micros. So expensive to crash though.

Now I have a bunch of fpv mini quads.

Default Re: How many here fly Rc Aircraft? What do you have...

got to maiden my 6S Red EFXtra this weekend!

-6S 1500 Graphine batteries
-i upgraded the bearings in the stock motor with Avid bearings, also added some more glue to the magnets.
-Hobbywing skywalker 80A esc
-Graupner Cam Speed 6x6 prop

pulled 69 amps and 1475 watts

soldered up the speed control so all the wires were going forward. then re shrink wraped it and even put the stock sticker back on it. looks factory.
