Anyone into R/C airplanes?

Needless to say, as it got a bit gusty in the afternoon, they all just sat around staring at eachother.

LOL....is that the field in salem, near fast freddy's?

if you run gas, just use some good quality rechargable batteries for your reciever and keep tabs on their charge. i ran plain old alkaline's in my RC gas truck and they lasted until i sold the thing a few months after i got it. servos just sip on charge, they are pretty efficient.

any gas motor you use, make sure you rig up a return spring on the throttle. this will automatically pull the throttle plate closed in the event that your batteries either die or get very low. you might not have total control but at least you can either glide the plane in or take solice in the fact that it isn't heading towards the ground at top speed :wink:
