An alternative form of flight..
« Reply #15 on: August 01, 2003, 10:25:21 AM »
Flying a fighter is not necessarily furballing.

There's lots of guys that have a very high K/D in fighters that aren't worth a hoot in a true fur. Generally speaking, these guys have no idea about the power of pure fur. They think they know, but they don't.

It's Luke's worst nightmare and a thousand times more threatening than Darth's most dire warnings make it out to be.

Once it gets in your blood, there is no known cure.

AH2 may fulfill you're kinder, gentler "mission oriented", " I need to have official rank" side.....

but fur appeals to the basest, lowest level of man's cruel nature...

beware the Dark Side!

Any recommendations for someone with r/c glider experience but no powered experience other than crash and burn in a chopper?

AKIron,

 Look at the Sig Kadet line of trainers. They fly slow and steady and are great trainers.

 If you dont want to build, there are any number of great ARF Trainers available.

Im into nitro r/c cars... was breaking in the engine at half throttle had a glitch in the controller and watched my baby go to full throttle and run smackdab into a toyota landcruiser. She couldnt have been going more than 50mph the 2 speed transmission just shifted a few seconds prior to the collision... She sure was fast tho...

I just love watching my friends spend near a thoudsands dollars. Build a model over 6 months watching them pant with antcipation on flying it. Fly the model then crash it the 1st day. then model sits on work bench for years. Serious cash cow hobby.

That's it in a nutshell. Was in a huntin club for years, chewed alot of fat, played alot of cards, never shot a thing. Not to mention the cheap beers...Shot at alot of empties tho..Had a BLAST doing it.

I'll be in Texas next con HT, will chew the fat. By then it will be gathering dust or I'll REALLY be a R/C dude.

My kaki's will be faded...

Got an Rc last year from my GF for my Bday.  Went out into a field after watching the video and an hour of methodical preaching from my brother.  10 minutes of flight and lost contact, ended up htting a school building and shattering.  First and last flight.  Was fun while it lasted.
