Within the last year I have gotten into R/C aircraft. Started with the 3 channel and recently figuered out out to use the 4 channel with ailerons. Since I can't have the real thing, I got an Electric mustang R/C. Flies great haven't crashed yet (knock on wood or my head for that matter). It has been a fun experiance. Show em if you got em

i've never had the balls to build an rc model & fly it with the prospect of augering it into terra firma. to much time lost, piss on the money... my time is worth more than the u.s. buck!! these guys with ducted fan engines however have balls bigger than king kong!! big dough expended!! & their time in getting it built, running, tuned, etc.... the price of augering it to me is too much!! i have alot of respect for rc guys. i'll stick to the shelf sitter dust collector models thank you very much.

I sold off all my R/C stuff in the early 1980s and got my PPL instead. For what some guys have in one plane you could buy a Luscombe!
