I fly electric parkflyers mostly. count me in for a r/c flying forum
The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

Those vapors actually make great full contact combat planes.  Get a group of 6 guys with a vapor for each and watch the fun happen.  They don't have enough mass to them to actually break the carbon fiber framing on collisions and packing tape works great to fix the saran wrap coverings.  The guys I fly with have "vapor wars", last guy in the air wins the goofy trophy.

I fly RC too, and have since the mid 80's.

I'm not against a forum for it here, but you guys know there are several kick-azz RC forums already out there, right?  I'm just not sure there'd be enough going on with one here to have more than a passing interest.

I could be wrong...

Quite true, I use RCgroups for most discussions, and RCUniverse for Buy/Sell/Trade... that being said, the more places to chat RC, the better ;)

Try the Syma S107: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/8499000606.  It's a $20 toy yet it is amazingly stable and controllable. My wife bought me a different chopper for Christmas and it was fun but very unstable and hard to fly.  The Syma is well built and it was shocking how stable it was.  Sure it's just a toy but for $20 it's a load of fun.  (True, you can only fly indoors; or outdoors at dawn or dusk if there is no wind.)

!!!!

this thing is bloody amazing! so much fun!  :x  :x  :x
Did you see my dad on dogfights yet?

I use RCGroups too but, if there are some RC pilots that play AH I'd like to know them.
