Anybody here fly radio controlled airplanes?
I was surfing the net a little while ago and came upon a site that was dedicated to electric airplanes.
I thought it might be kind of cool to try it out so I read alot about the different models and how to fly and decided to get a SuperCub Trainer.
I never really thought about doing this before with the glow or nitro engines as it seemed to me a big expense to get started. But with this electric for $250 I was up and flying with a spare battery to boot.
I get a 12 to 15 minute flight out of 1 battery which doesn't sound like much but when you're concentrating on flying a plane that for me it plenty long.
I was nervous for the first flight about crashing but I did ok and have 1/2 dozen flights under my belt now with no major catastrophes.
