I would LOVE to get into RC Flying but there don't seem to be many places here in the UK where I can buy the kit.

Anyone got some links to where u guys buy this stuff in the USA ?

Even better anyone got any links for UK suppliers.

How much do those birds cost ?

[Pro1973]

it depends on what you want ot do. you canget a trainer for around 300 dollars  to get you started . you might try looking at  http://www.towerhobbies.com i think they ship over the pond not sure tho .

flycorcs p-51 pictorial
This is a few pic's of my byron, Giant Scale P51.  It's powered by a G64, 24" x 6 prop, robart re-tracts. flaps, sliding canopy..etc.  She is really fun to fly, actualy paint scheme is historic, could use somone to help me get this skin into the AH skins folder.  (hint..hint).  Reg let me take some photo's of the 2 together... GunFighter is part of Heritage Flight, he does airshows all over the Globe in her.  Just wanted to share one of my birds with ya.

Photo 1


My P-51D on a "strafing run" during our WW2 reenactment.  Lots of pyro used during this, and its a TON of fun!


The B-29 is not mine, But the X-1 is! Rocket powered air dropped, LOTS of fun!

The B-29 is also used during the WW2 reenactment to drop the "a-bomb" the explosion of which you can see in the following photo.... nice 250 to 300 foot fireball


Our "A-Bomb"


A B-17 built and flown by one of our club members.. I jsut thought htis was a gorgeous pic so I decided to put it up!

That is the model isn't it? The real one is bigger than 23 feet and weighs more than 300 lbs I hope.

Genius!

Hey rogerdee thanks a LOT dude, I think I'm going to order this one today.

What do you all think

Spitfire Model

Speaking as one who never got past an advanced trainer.

Connry I'd get something a bit easier to learn with.

Lawn darting those things gets expensive quick.

Bronk
Edit:
I'd suggest something with a high wing.

[Connery]

Bronk I think like the mustang model it has 2 options on the plane, whereby one only allows limited access of the control surfaces meaning I wont be able to make stupidly fast turns etc.

if thats then case then it should be less dangerous!

Connery start with a cessna type trainer you can get the entire set-up, motor/radio/plane for around 275$ my p51d in the above photo i have around 800$ into it with the full retracts and with a more aggressive prop pitch it can do in excess of 120mph , start simple and when you get better then you start spending more $  

cheers:aok
