Remote Control Pilots?
« on: January 30, 2015, 11:22:27 AM »
Here's some spare time and extra cash if I've ever seen it!  Very cool nonetheless.

We have any RC pilots in the community? I tried when i was a teenager, but didn't have the patience required to build one of these things!

  That is cool. Imagine the future where a video game was plugged into 100 of these.  :x 
I always wanted to fight an impossible battle against incredible odds.

When I moved to Florida I had a nice F-22 RC...

Unfortunately I found out I could not fly it anywhere reasonable and it was taking up what little space in my home I had left...

SO... For that 4th of July I gave it a proper farewell by strapping fireworks onto it and even fountains to look like awesome booster rockets...

I got the thing in the air one last time... I got it low over the nearby pond and after a few passes of insanity I blew it up when I put it in a steep vertical climb...

Best part is only 2 trees caught fire... :)

That sounds a lot like what happened to my plane the one night I attended Kill the Crab.  :(
