Default Anybody R/C`er here ( airplane, boat, car... )

I used to fly R/C airplanes for a long long time. I flew pattern, and scale. One name that I remember well and makes me feel so good is SIG. Also Fox engines is what I had when I started. Learned to fly with a M.E.N. trainer, next a SIG Kadet Mk1. Later a Kaos 40 and 60, then a Dirty Birdy, and then Tiporares 40 and 60. I love that Hobby VERY much, but eventually it just faded away from me. I bought a new ARF trainer for my kids later, they learned to fly it, but never got interested in continuing the Hobby. The ARF sits on the garage and I think I am going to give it to a Club or something.

If you want to get the kids into flying R/C buy them a GWS Slow Stick. Its electric, but incredibly easy to fly and almost indestuctible. I have one that I used to do aerial photography with. The whole set up with radio and charger is under $200 and the plane is a blast. I miss flying but with a 21 month old son I just don't have the time that I used to.
