Default RE: building rc plane.


ORIGINAL: U pwned who

okay, i didnt actually choose this one, for christmas i asked for peices to build a flyable design of a halo reach longsword interceptor, and have someone make it fly(motors, set up the thrust vectoring flaps on back of the engines, and so on) but my dad got me that air earl thing(it was made by some japanese company) because he thought it looked coolest. so ya. but i do use a flight sim a lot. im really into the old battlefield 2 AIX 2.0 mod, because its almost as realistic a flight sim as like FSX which is the legit flight sim i have. as for the local club, im not sure if there is one here anymore, im pretty sure there used to be, there was this HUGE field with a long straigh flat road running through it, there were people there constantly, flying really big rc planes. so naturally, someone decides to put a walmart there :'(

I am going to try to keep it real and straight to the point as possible but that will be hard to do with the nonsense you are thinking. YOU HAVE TO WALK BEFORE YOU CAN RUN. AND YOU HAVE TO CRAWL BEFORE YOU CAN WALK. Your "simulators" are games, not simulators. Your "interceptor" is a figmanet of some game designers imagination. And you never start learning with a rudder-only jet - rudder only is fine for a high wing trainer. And quite frankly, if you can't afford $160 you are in the wrong hobby.

I love helping newbies but sometimes you have to shake them a little (or a lot) to get them to realize the error of their ways.
