Post by: MC71 on April 06, 2013, 08:59:50 pm: I'm still learning (and I'm sh*t at it) and have a Hobbyzone Super Cub LP (the closest thing i could find to the Cesna 152 I fly) which I bin EVERY time I go out and also have a Parkzone Spitfire Mk2 which I've never flown in the year I've had it. :laugh:

Would love to become good enough to fly a 3D bird but I already have WAY to many hobbies and interested and not enough time so it will probably never happen! :sad1:

Got any video of you doing your thing? :happy2:

We ran the engine it... trimmed it all as best we could. He took off and stalled it.... slammed into the deck... that was the end of that! :signLOL:

Have been to my local club a few times, hdrcmc.co.uk (http://www.hdrcmc.co.uk/), a little odd (the patrons), all about 70 years of age and they ALL build there own aircraft, a little bit like "Deliverance" TBH!! :confused:

I will go again when the weather cheers up a bit. Determined to use the Spitfire (at least once). :happy2:

Got a Funjet Ultra myself with brushless, been clocked at 187mph by my mates radar gun (Which he takes to the TT races), also got a 3D model (Which I prefer as its more fun, trying to control a small heavy fast model (Funjet) is hard work, you can relax with a 3D model even if its 2ft off the floor :signLOL:
