RE: dirt slinging r/cer looking to the sky
Take the bottom wing off your Aero Ace when you get bored with it as a biplane- its a whole different flying experience. Way faster and climbs quicker. It was my first plane and definately got me ready for my first "real" electric, the Hobbico Flyzone Aero Voyager which is basically a less expensive alternative to the Aerobirds. Pieces of that plane live on in all my current projects.
I go back and forth between my cars and planes. I run two Xmods on a track in my basement when its raining or too cold outside, and either my AWD rally car or my Rockcrawler when its too windy to fly.
