ok....someone had run a thread with a similar title. i can't find it or remember who started it, but they had requested a couple pics of some of my models.
these are the only ones i can find on any of my puters right now. i'll get some pics of the other ones this weekend weather permitting.
the super decathalon is a .40 size sport plane with an enya .50 in it.
the p40 same, but with a os .50sx
the p51 has a 1.5 ys 4 stroke.

ooo yea, that's it.....go ahead and brag!!
seriously......i've read in here that you flew the p51 for real. i think i'd guess that the other would be the super decathalon? :aok

they're actually beautiful airplanes.
a friend of mine had a regular citabria. he traded that for the super decathalon.
i had built one of his combat r/c models for him, so he took me up in his decathalon. i flew it from the backseat for about 45 minutes. it's amazing how precise that airplane is.
we took it to the warren grove MOA(we made certain it was cold first), and he did a couple simulated dive bomb runs on the practice targets there too.
the only thing he didn't let me do, was take it off or land it, but then again, all of my hours are in cessnas and an hour or so in a schweitzer helicopter.

How's his grammer, spelling, and punctuation skills?

We have a park specifically set aside for flying those airplanes and I used to dig going out on a Sunday and watching the folks fly them.
To see just how lifelike they can look watch "Empire of the Sun". Most of all the falling B-29 shot.

ya, most clubs have a field fo these models.
ours is (coincidentally) right across the street formt he airport i fly out of. we have i think one of the nicer fields in new jersey.
we have an east-west runway. the runway itself is almost 600 feet long. the treeline on the west side is over a mile away, and about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile to the south treeline, and the east treeline is 1/4 mile away.
we have a few guys with jets, although nothing as nice as that yellow aircraft F/A hornet pictured above.
electric is becomming more prevelent too, and a lot of our members fly the sport type planes.
i stick with the sport planes as they're what i can easily afford to own, and i can afford to crash them too.(and everyone WILL crash at least one time)

Your Komet Bosco, a rocket?
Rocket assisted, yes. for power its got a Moki 1.80. G.55 has a G45, and so as the Spit. The P40 has a G62 and the Hellcat has a GT80.
Zenoah products are my absolute favorite powerplants for warbirds, as far as weight and power.
I have a Jug that has a G36 on it as well (Hangar9/ Horizon Hobby ARF)
my Hellcat is a Zirloi scratch kit and the P40/ Spitfire are Yellow Aircraft products. and the Komet is just a scracth kit that me and my Grandfather made.
The G.55 is a blown up plan, form the old RCU magazine, if some of you know that mag.
-
we fly on land that is deemed as non-residential due to proximity to a power plant... it is wide open, flat, and pretty much treeless. we have a 750 foot paved runway, with a close cropped grass cross runway.. our field is incredible actually. the photos are from an airshow we put on every year at the hamilton/fairfield Butler Co. Regional Airport. (they shut the place down for the show!) Coincidentally, the same airport I fly "real" planes out of.

Zenoah engines are great for warbirds, but I primarily fly giant scale aerobatics.. and Desert Aircraft engines cannot be beat for light weight high power applications.
-
any closer pics of the 163?

Might have to look around, don't think so.
Found one, but I don't know if its any closer. Messed around with it in photshop, so it has no engine.

O god that is so awsome , how much for this spit and p40?

I had a pile of planes (some of them ended up AS a pile :lol). I had the most fun with helis though. Here is a pic of my favorite. Nexus 30 mechanics in a Funky 206L fuselage.

I build R/C planes, starting with a 36" wing span up to a 60" wing span.
PM for off-site e-mail address. HTC has rules about conducting any kind
of bussness on this site. I may have already said to much, so don't ask :noid
btw: This should have been posted in The O'Club

well between both of them, probably 4G's or more.

ya.....
as much as i'd LOVE to have a scale plane like that, i just can't afford it. so i stick to the sport planes. they're much much cheaper to build, and maintain.
-
lol, I have that T-28 that Parkzone makes. its a great little airplne and it take a heck of a beating.

Excellent pics guys, im jealous, i would love to get into the hobby,and have a great club near my home, any suggestions .

if you've never flown r/c before, go visit the club that's near ya. they;ll help you out. you need to join the AMA before you can join most clubs, then join the club, but that's easy.
most clubs will have people there that are all too happy to help new pilots learn.
as for an airplane, check out the hobbico superstar trainers. they have .60 size, and .40 size. both come with the engine and electronic already installed. all you need to do to that one is to charge the batteries, and about 20 minutes of assembly work.
do not try to fly it for yourself for it's first flight though. get an experienced pilot to tske it up and make sure it's trimmed right.
you'll have a blast. you'll find it a bit challengine, and incredible fun. it's also incredibly addictive too.
goods luck

I have a sort of R/C plane...but I always crash into trees that I thought were further away than they actually were...
How do you people avoid this, and land successfully? Do you have cameras in the nose or something cool like that?
Anyway, really nice planes and pictures all of you :D :aok

it just takes getting used to. i misjudged the trees a few times. most have if there's trees to be hit.
you best bet is to get help form fellow club members. they'll help you get the "right picture" when you're flying.

Thank you sir, will give it a try., Ill post back in a couple of weeks and let you know how its going <S>

Cap is right on. I've been flying for 6 years now, so I know what I'm doing. Models are ALOT harder then full scale aircraft. You have to have good eyesight, or decent even, to fly these. Perception is hard to judge if you don't have a clue how far it is. Big airplanes can get farther away from you, just because their so big. smaller airplanes you tend to keep tham closer, because they are smaller. Personally, I like to keep them almost as low as I can go, and as fast as the airplane will go.
Were I fly, there is a tree line a little past the feild, I like to get below the tree line and just follow it the whole way across. My P47 is green, and the trees are green so its kinda hard to see. I can tell how far I am, just becasue I've learnd over 6 years of flying over that feild.
Oh and one last think, look what me and my grandfather are building:
thats me in the backround

VERY NICE....looks like a LOT of work.
other things i look at too.........
i try to keep my aircraft at least 2 mistakes high. what i mean by this, is that when i make a mistake(and everyone will) i still have enough altitude to make 2 more mistakes trying to recover, before my plane goes splat.
i especially do this when i'm trying new things, or doing maneuvers i haven't done for awhile.
the very very best thing to do if you're just getting involved, is like i mentioned before, and get help from someone that's been flying for awhile. 99% of r/c pilots are more that happy to help, especially if you're younger(meaningbeing a teen possibly into your 20s).
i love seeing new people coming into this sport.

it is a lot of work CAP, we've been working on it for the past 6 months or so, and still have another 6 or more months ahead of us.
Like CAP said, we all like to help. Issues like engines or, radio problems we die for because we like to solve those problems, its fun, makes the hobby fun.
Of course, your first plane that you fly, is most likley gonna be the first airplane you crash, so don't get all excited, about crashing it, that just happens. Myself, I am a trainer, and love to help out on those things.

Oh baby! Nice one :aok
I fly an RC EEP P51 foam slope-soarer/glider, same model as this one (Except mine doesnt look anything like as pretty):
(http://www.flycs.co.nz/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/3fe2a307fd7a7dbab27cb0a79edee5a9.jpg)
Mines all beat up and has lots of fibre-glass strapping tape holding it together...
Sloping is good fun, no engine, just wind and gravity and a big hill to crash into at 50MPH...
-
That one in particular, as you all know went fast. Probably, because we overpowerd the crap out of it, might reach 200 in a dive. If you guys were close to see it, its very smooth and the shape is beautiful.
