I would think so too, that's why I want a cheapo small one that wouldn't make me too upset if/when I hit something. I went and saw the local fliers club saturday, there's a really nice field they fly in. I guess like any hobby, there are some that take it WAY too seriously, with huge, handbuilt planes (and motors!), modified motorcycle trailers to carry them around and all. Needless to say, as it got a bit gusty in the afternoon, they all just sat around staring at eachother.
I thought gas would be cool since you don't have to worry about expensive batteries... and having multiple batteries so you don't have to sit there waiting to charge. But the gas ones have to have a battery of course too, so maybe I'm rethinking that. I just thought the speed and sound was too cool. They clocked this acrobatic wing thing this guy had at 140MPH+.
The contact combat aircraft thing seems pretty wild! :lol:
