R/C hellcat

[Kung Fu]

Very cool!


I don't have the luxury to build so I resorted to the Parkzone line of parkfliers.  I'm still somewhat new to the hobby but its fun as hell and plan to get into it more later down the road.  Here's my PZ 190 that I painted for laughs.  Not quite finished, still need to apply the rest of the decals and touch ups.  Not to mention some detail/weathering eventually:




EDIT: Did I mention this hobby is ADDICTING??      Less than six months into it and look at me!

Its great to see the effort put into dressing a PZ bird up!

Probably the best little warbird I have ever flown was the GWS zero with a nice brushless motor... Very fast and very fun!



If you ever see those big foam planes at a hardware store... They make really relaxing flyers!



My last nitro plane I have left is the great planes .15 size P-51! I may have to take it out this spring... What a blast!

Do I see some 109 wings under the table in that photo!  

I really love building them from scratch...  I collect plan sheets like you wouldn't believe.  Right now, I have plan sheets for:

- P51
- 109
- 190A5
- P47
- P38
- Mosquito
- A6M
- F4U
- Albatros DIII
- SE5a

The WW2 birds are all designed for 1/12th scale, but I have imported most of them into my computer and can resize them to any scale I want...  The Albatros and SE5a plans are 1/8th scale...  The 1/12th scale is also nice because the .20 2 cycle engines are pretty inexpensive and plenty powerful for the roughly 38-40" wing spans.  I've also got some Me262 plans that I plan on adapting for electric ducted fan eventually.

Here's a good company that sells some nice plan sheets for anyone who likes to scratch build.

I do agree this hobby is very addicting. I only have one problem that i don't want happening in the future, this clip will explain.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeTDaWf6fps

Nice 109 and 190 KungFu, but my 109 is bigger

[2ADoc]

I have 2 Blade400s, 3 Blade CX2s, a CH-47, and a C-47 that will be Buzz Buggy when I finish it.  The C-47 it going to be Electric, with Robart Retracts, and scale 3 blade props.

Building a 1/6th P-38 from a yellow kit right now, have built many planes, including my jet.. been in this hobby for.. too long.. lol 25 years or so... started when I was 7 yrs old.  Heres a few photos of a few of my birds...

These have been posted in another thread, but figured id toss em here too


Yellow Aircraft F/A-18 modified for twin Jetcat P-80 turbines, instead of the single 120


46% (nearly half scale) Hangar 9 Ultimate Bi-plane, has a Desert Aircraft 170cc 4 cylinder engine on it.

The 38 plans came from Model Airplane News magazine many years ago, but they are still available at rcstore.com.  Here's a link to them.

Or you can find plans for most anything at Cleveland Model & Supply

I was impressed by the F6F in the game so i decided to look for a R/C model, i have a post link and want your opinion on wither or not i should get the plane. By the way i am also new to this hobby so i may wreck it on the first try. Sorry about the different language, but this was the only video i could find with my exact plane.

short answer.

if you've been only flying r/c for a short period of time, then stay away from warbirds. they're not nearly as easy to fly as sport models or trainers.

 you need to work your way up.

[legoman]

i have been flying r/c planes for 8 months now and i'm getting really good at it.

That's what I thought.. before trees and powerlines became an issue.

8 months is nothing. you're still new. you've got quite a few crashes coming before you hit warbirds.


a decent plane....although kinda ugly......is he world models t-34. it's rugged, fast, easily repairable, and lands slow and stable as a trainer.

 i've been through 4 of them. on my 5th now...and it's been repaird 2x.

Yea, I've been flying nearly 8 years and now I am just getting good.

from what i can judge by seeing the stuff you fly, and seeing what you put in here, i'd say you're WAY past "just getting good".

 some of the old guys(and i say that with respect) in my club wouldn't fly some of the neat stuff i've seen you post about.
