Aces High & R/C

[PsychoVI]

How meny of you Build or fly Radio Control Planes? and were you inspired by AH?

One of my planes, This is a converted T-6 Taxen to a British Harvard

[CAP1]

i've been flying r/c for about 7 years now. i have 10 airplanes, and 3 helicpoters.

smallest plane is an alpha models fu4 corsair. it has an outrunner on it, 3 cell lithium ion 2100mah battery, and  tops out around 65mph. i get about 15 minutes flight out of the batterypack.

fav. planes are my p51 with a ys 1.5 4 stroke, and my hangar nine t-34 mentor with an os .50 on it.

helis are a hirobo shuttle with a jetranger fuse on it...os .46, and a raptor 50 with an os .50. then i have an electric heli.....with a bell 222 fuse on it. that one is for indoor flying though

I have flown R/C since the days of pulse radio. My eyesight has gone on me so I am moving to ever bigger models. Now I am working on the Glenn Torrence Dr-1.

You can see how its built here: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4399390/anchors_4399390/mpage_1/key_/anchor/tm.htm#4399390

the p40 is a greatplanes arf, the super decathalon, i bought used off of a guy there for $50.00, minus engine and electronics. i think it is great planes, but not sure. i bought that one as a "beater", as my world models t34(my current beater) is almost beaten to death.

 the pony i'm not sure about. it has a fiberglass fuselage, and foam core wings. it had the incorrect landing lights on it when i bought it, and i've been too dam lazy to correct that so far.

 my extra300 is a 120 size world models arf, with an os 91fx in it, and with THAT it's overpowered.

i'll get pics up soon

Actually.. the cats skills run more to sniping than flying...

Excellent plane Hangtime - I'd hate to crash that one...........my cat is always sleeping in my guitar cases........furry little bugger........wouldnt be without her tho.....


On the plane side, I've got (somewhere) one of the hobbycraft foam fw190's.......which has been bushed more times than I care to remember....easy fix tho.. also got an electric helicopter (cant remember which model - something Elite or somesuch)...which has also been bushed a load of times. Flying in the desert with no winds is great (father in law lives in the Mojave desert - so only get to fly them there) - landing in the desert is a bit hit n miss (lots of rocks there lol..)

Cap, your planes are great too...........not really experienced in flying r/c - but its fun fun fun.

Psycho - is that an arf? If so, where'd ya get it from fella?
