I've got my B wings, so I can handle most of the faster aerobatic planes... flew fuel powered for a while but now I'm getting into electrics. My electric jet is my fav. plane at the moment it can push 100 km/hour out of a dive.

Anyone here into RC?
Just wondering. I've been into RC planes since I was 14. Went to pilot school then (they had free ground school classes) and I passed the exam, but I didn't have the money to take the flying lessons. Someday I hope to, but until then I'm into RC planes.

I have never been very much interested in them, although I have a certain fascination with them - if I get my hands on an RC plane, I will try to fly it. Unfortunately, I am not cut out to steer anything, and as so I have nearly destroyed my younger sister's plane. Not that she treated it any better, though. ^_^

You gotta get with a flying club. One of the experienced guys there will show you the ropes. It took me 2 summers to learn to fly solo, and another 2 to 3 years learning aerobatics / fast planes etc. I'm nowhere near done yet, time to get a faster one!
Next project should be one of these:
but I wanna paint paulo in a flight suit on the nose!

Oh yeah, that turbine stuff is awesome. Too expensive for me and most here, I've seen one fly only once.
On an airbase huh? Are you a pilot / in the millitary? That'd be kinda awesome.

I've got a wicked helicopter. It's infra-red, so not exactly RC. I've never had enough experience with them, but I bet if I'm exposed to them I'll love 'em.
@Cloud: that's so cool, I bet you heard tons of interesting stories.
@Dr.Klaus: you bet - those little helicopters are fun. If you're looking at something with a bit more control, try the Blade MSR - it's fairly cheap and excellent for the price. I have one and love it.
