Almost ready to fly foam construction, weigh like 300g, pretty cool eh ?

There's actually quite an RC Dogfighting scene, and they fire infrared "guns" at each other. be on his 6 for a couple of secs and you score a kill, e.g. the others engine quit and he has to dead stick it. Some of these even have a small smoke charge go off when a kill is scored :D looks extra cool !

i now have a choice between updating my vid card to enable me to play AH2 or spend the money on a model plane.

right now the plane seems more likely

The UH-1 lights look awesome!! I'm wondering how that CH 46 is going to handle.

yes, I'm definately going to break things in here but I gotta try the starter helicopter.

very nice, thanks for the links!

hi duckwing :-)

the alpha modells (http://www.alfamodel.cz/) you had too in your post can be bought from "simprop" too. but in the simprop versions the servos are actually built in :-) (less work)
friend of mine bouth the 810mm wingspann coursair in the morning and after 2-4h work it was ready for flight. test flight was
nice and it is easy to fly..not flickry .
speed looks very nice for this scale compared to the original ones.

only problem he had in the coursair..engine and an other part was killed because of overheating. so just drill in some cooling holes in the plastic part that simulates the engine.

the other models, think with more work to do, but even more detailed you can find here:
http://www.lenger.de/cgi-bin/neu_web_store.pl?page=slow1.htm&&cart_id=9096034_12388

if you want to order from germany e.g.

think i really must start RC flying..our hole airfield is filled up with electro RC modells after we finished the real flying in the evening.
corsairs,bückers,and other stuff all around...lol

greetings

i can only encourage you to do so :) i'm very happy with it, and i learned to fly on a Piccolo micro.

I've sold my big Nitro Chopper tho as they are too noisy, and too much work, plus the reliability of the engine wasn't all to great... i rather 3D my little electro Bird :D

If you need any advice or help feel free and write me a mail at

a r p a @ a o n . at

cheers
