Played with these in the 80’s, great fun. Was told by some military pilots in the club that RC’ers made good student pilots.

I agree, I flew R/C for 3 years before going after my private pilot license. I flew the plane to a nearby airport and made the approach to land and then was allowed to make the takeoff and fly back home on the first dual lesson. I credit the R/c flying plus a few hours of riding with other pilots in their planes to making it easier to learn and earn my license.

I think they are so awesome.. I'm thinking about making an electric version. It just won't sound as wonderful....

@SteffenRC 30% Nitro on a tuned pipe is awesome but less clean up with modern electrics. You don't get that wonderful smell either.

@@MishMashMoto one more reason for me to get a nitro plane.

I was into RC for about 30 years. Got out of it years ago. I had a scat cat with a modified Rossi 40 engine on it and tuned pipe.. it was blindly fast

Sounds like a cat when you're trying to take it to the vet

Awesome yes, but I am so glad I don't need a roll of paper towels anymore.

Gotta love Glow Baby!! We mostly fly electric, but it can be fun too! Just hit almost 150 mph today!! 😅⚓️

I hear you Nate/abby. I pretty much only fly Electric today. I started in the 80’s so nitro and simple radios were the norm. I’m working with these nitro guys to build an electric quickie to compete with their nitro planes. Video forthcoming. Thanks for commenting- Will

I aspire to fly one of these one day but for now I’m stuck with my horizon hobby carbon cub
@SteffenRC4 ай бұрын
That Carbon Cub is an outstanding plane. Learn to fly the crap out of it and you'll be able to fly anything.. Including these 150mph Quickies..😎
For me its all good. Grew up with Nitro.. Now, its all electric. These guys at my field are a blast to watch though....

Don't usually critique on stuff like this none of my business. The way the guy was holding plane was a hazard to himself. If his tinsy tiny finger pinch on tail was to slip, the motor prop, front of plane could pivot right into his hand and arm. But to each his own. ;)

Thanks. Good point.

@@tomdoe6816 I truly appreciate the feedback, I am just a outside observer. I have little experience with glow engines other than little .049 as a kid. When you have spinning blades upfront like that , I do feel a firmer full handed grasp around the rear of fuselage, just in front of the empennage could be a safer route. Thanks for the open minded discussion ;)

Unfortunately, I've seen more people hurt by Electrics because they aren't using throttle cut. You are correct you must respect the prop.
@tommy39892 ай бұрын
It doesn't hurt that bad. Stuck my palm in a few props while tuning the needle valve...scars to prove it. Love that electric has come as far as it has. No more buddy boxes??? I'm down.

You folks that fly this stuff have a better understanding on the war going on in Ukraine

We might understand the radio controlled model part. But our hobby doesn't enable us to fly past line of sight. We fly within a 4-500m range.
