T.Jackson...your solution is boring.

See that's where you're wrong. My solution isn't just boring - I'm boring! and it comes with old age. The older I get, the closer I'm becoming to "normal" Normal people don't go out and spend thousands of dollars trying to engineer something that they know they can go and buy for $300. A tried, true & proven product developed by a team of professionals Vs countless hours, lot of money, lot of frustration, and if you're lucky it might turn out half as good. Like I said before, no thanks.

Hi, Trent

You're newbie on this forum ... that explains you do not know our friend "Jetpr" ...

Take it easy, look for some of his old posts here and here:

You'll laugh at many times (...) and it will make you much,much much cooler than when smoking illegals ...

Alain, you're right, I do need a new hobby, an RC helicopter is quite possibly something in my future. PS: ease up on those illegals, they'll kill ya you know.

Hi, Trent

My own and only "illegals" are thoroughly kept into Old Bottles in my Cellar ... LOL.

Stopped tobacco since 1980 ... and lawn tractor abusing make me keep as far away as possible from all sorts of herbs !!!

Methanol vapours ( I'm a modeller ! ) need " a strong Alcohol glass " ( sic dixit Medicine man ...) to counterbalance the bad effects on the Brain.

RC planes ( motor or sail ) also are quite a pleasant hobby ...

How hard are those choppers to fly? I'm considerably tempted to go and buy one.

RC-helicopters are cheap, durable and extremely easy to fly. They are close to impossible to crash and require almost no skills and patience :-) .

hmmm... not really..... a fat wallet and lots of spareparts and hook up with a RC club with intructors or you will go mad sooner or later (or broke, or both)

Jumper is Right

Flying models really is a group hobby ... ( Instructor + pupil, then Friends + pupil, then spectators with no-more-a-pupil ...)

I've seen MANY cool clubs in Australia ...

Abusing a while from Darrel's time ( LOL ), I'd say planes have one advantage ... MUCH cheaper than Helis !!! and wooden ones can most of time be repaired at a minimum cost ...

Now we have to speak about PbP applied to model planes ...
