Hangtime - R/C B25

I wish the RC simulators had a cost more in line with regular software. Paying over $200.00 for a sim of RC planes is more than a bit steep. :mad:

How about free?

Linky

i suspect these folks make their money on custom aircraft additions and or selling the interface cables for standard FM R/C transmitters so they can be used in place of Joystick controllers.

The hard part in learning R/C is defeating control reversal.. simulator time defeats this, and you don't need a 'real' RC Transmitter to overcome control reversal, so your normal joystick oughta work just fine.

haven't tried this one out.. lemme know if you like it.

Looks very nice!

Id put a video recorder in there if it could handle the weight! Imagine how cool it would look mounted right behind the pilots looking forward.

I think I may have seen that plane at Bomberfield outside of Houston last year for a big fly-in they have.  There were hundreds of scale warbirds including at least 7 or 8 B-17s flying around.  It was pretty cool.  They also have a huge scale model of a Russian Bear bomber but they couldnt fly it the day I was there due to a messed up servo and nobody in attendance had a spare that would fit correctly for them to repair it.

Nope. That's Suzie Phillips. She crew cheifs, spots and generally enjoys the hobby as much as he does.

A 'keeper'. ;)

For sure a keeper in that case.

I could never get into modelling like that....my wife would go bananas and so would I, trying to keep the kids from breaking it.

Hang,

Thanks a bunch for the link. I had no idea there was one available. We're getting delivery of our new RV this Saturday and we have to drive 300 miles to get it on Friday so I won't get to play with it for a bit. :aok

I wonder if that guys wife modeled for the "nose art"??????

LOL.. not a new idea.. I've had a video camera in our company L-21B for years. we've even got a linked telemetry & video setup so it can be flown and landed via the camera view. comes in real handy for 'formation flying' too.. defeats the risk of a mid-air due to mis-interpeted depth perception at distance.

freaky-deaky way to fly, lemme tell yah!
