My weekend flyer :-)

If you have not guessed allready, its one of my electric model planes, fitted with a powerfull brushless motor and 12x8 prop. It's made of lightweight epoxy glass and fly's very well Controlled with ailerons, rudder and elevator.

Fantastic! I always wanted one

I used to race 1/10 RC cars and had a few trophies back in the day. What are we like eh?

I was interested in the rc cars too for a little while but decided on the electric rc planes You must have been very good and really into it to win some trophy's. There are big improvments in the electric rc model plane world, not just from the quality of lots of kits and lipo battery technology available, but the actual transmitter and recievers. You can now buy 2.4GHZ radio gear which means no more crystals and no more interference/glitches.

I still have the FM radio equipment in all my models ,but I will replace it eventually with the new gear.

Very nice DJ, I cliked on the thread and for a second I thought it was a full size aircraft.

lol i thougth the same as nero too ! look great dj !

Great pic, do you fly it often, if so where do you go? My fiance has a mascot trainer and has never flown it!

Thanks
Thanks pepsi No I've not been flying much lately, I think the last time I flew one of my models was sometime last summer, and that was with an other model (delta flying wing). I'm a member of a flying club near where I live and have been a member for about 4years now. Most of the members fly IC planes, I think I'm the only one who fly's electric with the exception of a few who have electric gliders. I have another website with videos and pics of my models if you are interested www.ercm.eu although this website will be getting a makeover and transferred to my new webspace soon.
I've not heard of the mascot trainer and could not find any info on it either

He reckons thats probably due to the fact he bought it over 10 years ago!!!

Nice plane DJ There are flying spots at both our local walks but I must admit I do avoid them. A friend used to fly model aircraft (a helicoper though, not a plane) and after seeing them lose control of theirs (several years ago now) I won't take the dogs snywhere near where I know people are flying.
