Title: R/C planes and helicopters
Post by: txtorn80 on November 30, 2011, 04:33:33 PM
Outside of slot machines I have other hobbies like flying R/C planes and helicopters.  I usually fly the smaller helicopters inside such as the Blade mCX2 and the Blade mSR.

There are only two kinds of model aircraft.  Those that have crashed...and those that will.  :96-

I've flown model helicopters and planes. But now I am messing around with one of these AR Drones. It was designed to be flown with a iPad or other iDevice. But that really sucks. Too hard to control and very limited range. So there is a mod to use a standard R/C controller.  This one is not mine, but you get the idea. At about the 2 minute mark, he takes it way up. I've almost lost sight of mine a few times. I also have a mini camera on it (not the built in one). I'll upload some videos next time I take it out.

I have been flying RC Planes now for over 30 years and can
say it is my most favorite thing to do. Here is a photo of one
of my planes taken at the Hemming Way Flying Field on
Lake Mead close to Boulder City, Nevada.
