For you R/C plane guys out there...

came across this video of a 8 foot plane doing some nice stunts (with buddy too) enjoy.... http://www.compfused.com/directlink/609/

sweet....thats good flyin :beer:

Whoever was doing the flying was really good. I went to a baloon festival a while ago and this dude had a remote control helicopter and he was doing some insane things with it. It was awesome.

yeah there's a video to one with some CRAZY helicopter stunts... http://www.compfused.com/directlink/557/

I'd like to get me one of them...thats got to be one hell of a costly hobby though.

i wonder how much somethin like that costs

EDIT there is NO FAKE SOUNDS OR EDITING TO THESE VIDEOS THIS IS 100% REAL!!!!!!!! BTW the this engine is rated at 14#s and the engine for my big F-16 is rated at 44#s

i love those with the turbine engines. sound so sweet. thanks for the fotos of the airwolf, totally forgot about that heli. i love the show! great work there!! :rockon: just out of curiousity, what do you pay for just one turbine? and the cost to keep it running for one flight?

The jetcat in the video cost me 3400 to my door and theres a few other things you need to buy along with it to make it run. flight costs run about 10 bucks a flight or so...depending on what kind of fuel you run. You can find used turbines on the net for anywhere from 900-up depending on use/make of the engine.

you could always start with an electric plane. not very expensive. those are also fun to fly.

Yeah thats a good point or you can look here on the net for glow/gas powered trainners....ebay is a good place to start. or PM me and i can help you look.
