Fly By

[BurnTire]

the closest I come is that another hobby of mine is RC airplanes. I was out flying this morning and took a video by strapping an old cell phone to the bottom of my plane this morning. It was not too bad although you don't have much to look at since I am flying over a dirt parking lot. IT is a fun hobby as every plane fly's completely different and even though it sucks to crash, you get to walk away....

Here is a little burnprop action for you ttocs.

Damn, I want one of those. How much do they cost? Can you get a Spitfire model?

Is the landing gear optional?

$280 for the F4U, Spitfire is not as powerful from parkzone.

Neither airplane is one to learn with.

Is the landing gear optional?

Yes. I removed the gear and use the skids for grass landings.
The wheels do not work well is grass.


This will be my next plane

You can get as crazy on the planes as you want to. Retractable landing gear is only the start and continues into full gas turbine engines, jets, ect.......

There's an RC plane shop on Gilbert/Williams Field right by my house.

I'll have to stop in see what they have.
