R/C models

your 163 is amazing Bosco.  a few questions, if i may...  how much does the model weigh? what rocket motor do you use?  is thrust variable?  how long of a run do you get out of each motor (im assuming its the solid fuel kind like in model rocketry)?  is the motor started electronically?  what top speed does it reach?  is it hard to fly?

At any rate they are awesome planes, I just have a Hobbyzone Aerobird Challenger.

firs I would like to apologize on the He-163. Gunther the ME-163 weighs about 23 pounds the biggest rocket i use is G-75 which produces 27 pounds of thrust for 7 second the motor is started elctronicly by a wire in the  rocket itself attaches to a little wire in the airplane when we want to fire it we have 2 saftey swiches one on the airplane which is an on of swich and the other is on the radio that also if the swich is on the airplane and you swich the reciver off then it fires. if there both on then and you hit the radio swich then it fires. I am only guessing on the top speed but i belive its about 150 max. the airplane is off a skid so when it takes off  it has no landing gear so it floats forever at idle. In other words the airplane is very hard to take off and land. you have to be perfect but it flies excellent

Anyone ever try the Giant Model Rc Tanks? Good fun, i got a 1/16 scale one that smokes engine exhaust, makes engine noise, and even fire a plastic bb i think about 30m's. Check this out

do yourself a favour........get outta that little 2 and 3 channel crap!!!!they're so hard to fly its amazing. go right to a nitro powered plane. if you can keep these little pieces of crap in the air, then go with a model by a company called "world models" you want the t-34 mentor. it doesn't look like one really, but it is rugged, and VERY easy to fly. it's supposed to be a .40 sized....but we all run the OS .50 SX two stroke in them. VERY fast and nimble. we like to fly formation with them too, as if we do suffer a mid0-air collision, it's not too much of a loss.

 seriously, you'll love it. i'm past them and flying P-51's, EXTRA 300's and SUKHOI's now......even a raptor helicopter, but STILL keep this t34 as its a quick flight and fun plane.

feel free to PM me if ya want any advice.....i'll help ya as much as i can.....my ingame id is: 1LTCAP

good luck!!

I would like to get anouther WW2 plane but everything else Iv seen is $100+. I would like a german plane under $50 anyone know of any?

 any multi engine plane is a bad first plane. are you planning to stay electric?
 if so, check out hobby-lobby.com, and look at the alpha models. most are hand launched, but veruy nice flying. going to nitro would be better as slightly larget flys better....single engine that is
 under $50.00......ferget it..unless its used.
 like i mentioned in another post, if you awant to pm me, i can try to offer advice to help ya out.....ingame is 1LTCAP.

good luck,
john
