 Just curious, anyone here into remote control cars/boats/planes?
not the small stuff that you buy at toys-r-us and walmart, though, thoes are alright for starters..
I mean the bigger stuff that goes at a tolerable speed..

I likes to take apart old ones and rebuild them..  that un's an old boat made in germany in the 1980's..  cant remember the date..  but I took out all the electronics and put in new ones..  runs much better..  it's a hydrofoil and comes all the way outa the water..



anyways, just somthin different..

 I tried to get into it once. Went to a hobby shop, bought plans for a glider plane. Spent 2 months building it from scratch. It looked perfect with great paint and all.  Took it to the mountains. It fell like a rock. Spent 2 weeks fixing it. Took it to the mountains. Fell like a rock, ? This went on for half a year. Then I finally got the glider to fly great for almost an hour, saw a nice little road for it to land, made a perfect landing. A car came around the corner, took both wings off it as the fuselage only came out from under the car. Decided to making the fuselage into a nice candleholder.

 well, at least it flew
I'm so tired of being lost in a world,
Where no one can find me.
I want to break free of the cage,
That has been enclosing me for too long.
I know that I am alone and no one will save me,
So I am to escape for myself.
I wander down a path,
That will go on for eternity.
I shall never reach the end,
I am trapped no matter where I go.
Though I finally manage to reach the end,
I must fight the monster inside of me to pass.
It is filled with so much anger, hate, and despair,
The only antidote is love, courage, and hope.
The three things I do not have,
And never will.
It is there that I give up,
I have nothing left but myself.
So I lay down forever,
Never going to get up again...as I fade away from all existence.

 LOL!  Holby, you'd do anything to brag, right? :rolleyes:

I like the actual gas-powered ones.  Batteries seem to get lost somewheres.

 meh..  
atleast you made somthin useful out of it Wolf..  I've seen many many remotes, just the controler, on Ebay that say 'gently used..'  a few of them said misc. airplane parts availible on request...  also one who's boat had sunk to the murky dephs..  

the gas ones are more powerful, but, the gas is messier and you have to keep buying more of it, a few battery packs will last you a while..  plus, electric engines you can leave for years and years without doin anything to them and they'll go as soon as you put on a good battery..  most gas engines wont do that methinks..  

*shruggeth*
personal preference..

 Yes, there are the obvious advantages and disadvatages of battery and gas powered RC cars.  I just prefer the faster, more powerful thingys. *nods*

 My sister got a remote control airplane for her birthday. We tested it out several weeks ago in a very large open field where it would not crash into trees or get run over by cars. *cough*

It flew pretty good, actually. It was battery-powered, and it had no assembly required.

 I thought about buying an RC boat once. I got a guitar instead. But still, they're cool.

:lol: That's funny!

I was watching TV a while ago and they were talking about these nitro powered RC cars that went  really fast. They got tournaments for 'em ,and the owners spend hundreds of dollars on them.
Hooray for Santa!

 I was reading the local paper today; there was a small fire of a few acres in the RC park.  Seems a plane crashed and started a fire. So I am thinking ?how could a little RC plane start much of a fire?? Seems it was a scale model of an F14 that had an actual miniature working jet engine at a cost of $10,000!  The thing ran on aviation fuel and exploded on impact. I wonder if with that much money about to crash if the guy flying it ejected the cockpit before impact.
