Beavis Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Dont know if anyone else does but i have been flying model planes since a teenager. Not flown recently but here are some pics from a show i attended a few years back at Cosford. Thought i would share Quote
s1xtyn1n3 Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Looks good! Used to see them all the time up on the Epsom downs - given the damage I do with my nitro buggy (i've still got the scars on my knee from the accident last year!), there's no way i'd trust myself with a plane or heli! Quote
clarkie34 Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Bloody hell Dave,you could go on holiday in one of those. Quote
Beavis Posted April 12, 2010 Author Posted April 12, 2010 Bloody hell Dave,you could go on holiday in one of those. Some do need CAA certification to fly Wayne Quote
DontPanic Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 love it. Don't see any of them fitting in the boot of a Zed mind! Quote
Zugara Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 love it. Don't see any of them fitting in the boot of a Zed mind! They fit quite well in a bag, thats after you crash them! I fly(if you can call it that) helis, Its so freaking hard, and big money when you crash. Great fun tho. Quote
Stew Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 I fancy dooing Helis but cheap ones don't do it for me and I can't afford to crash a proper one! Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Jees Some of those are unbelievable... Which ones yours then Quote
Ian Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Bloody hell, some of those are huge Always wanted to try it but chances are I'd get bored & end up flying the plane into my mates Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Bloody hell, some of those are huge Always wanted to try it but chances are I'd get bored & end up flying the plane into my mates Me and my mate did that with RC speed boats on Markeaton Park It was awesome Quote
rtbiscuit Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 love those planes, always fancied a heli, but i'm an accident waiting to happen. are those kit bought planes or have people designed and built them themselves? Quote
ikarus Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 I have a few planes and a few heli's in the garage. Haven't flown in a year or two though, would be a disaster if i tried too now Got into it at university when i did an aeronautical degree, a few years back now though! I usually frequent the RAF Cosford show too as its only a few miles away for me Quote
Zugara Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Jees Some of those are unbelievable... Which ones yours then The blond in the 7th picture!!! Quote
Beavis Posted April 12, 2010 Author Posted April 12, 2010 are those kit bought planes or have people designed and built them themselves? Yes most of the large stuff will have been built to a scale that the owner wants. These are not kits. The airliners run true model jet turbines too. The B52 that crashed and burned here. Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 Was that yours that crashed Dave ? I would have been in tears. I can't believe how big they are Quote
sparky370z Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 i have seen a few of those doing the rounds at Model Air Shows. they are Awesome but the blokes are proper Nerds. i used to fly mine in chessington, there was a bloke there, we called "arther English". he spent about 2 years building a fan jet Delta wing only to crash it on his maiden voyage! he was devo'd. i think he even cried!! i have crashed my training plane, but at the moment i have a Wot 4, which is an awesome novice plane. fast, yet forgiving! into Nitro car/buggy now as you can tale em anywhere and just use them Quote
Stew Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 into Nitro car/buggy now as you can tale em anywhere and just use them REVO FTW! I need to get mine up and going.... Quote
kObi Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 That A10 in the first pic looks awesome! bet it made a great sound when flying. Quote
s1xtyn1n3 Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 That's insane! I do enjoy watching a good R/C crash though as long as it's not me crashing! Quote
rtbiscuit Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 model jet turbines, now thats my idea of fun i'd happily build my own from scratch, but i'm sad like that Quote
Stew Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 model jet turbines, now thats my idea of fun i'd happily build my own from scratch, but i'm sad like that My mates making a jet engine just now..... He's insane though. Quote
alessandro Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 they are massive!! never seen anything like it Very impressive Quote
rtbiscuit Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 model jet turbines, now thats my idea of fun i'd happily build my own from scratch, but i'm sad like that My mates making a jet engine just now..... He's insane though. i think it helps Quote
neo-ninja Posted April 13, 2010 Posted April 13, 2010 wow thats insane! does everyone have vans to carry there stuff to events?! what is the cost of some of the larger planes?!! Quote
