Well a good fast car does a litle more than go just go straight, turn right, turn left. If I cobbed the throttle on my Ofna car with wheel turned hard it start spinning a donut that would progressively get faster & faster until it started looking like the Tasmanian Devil, stay on the throttle even longer & it became a small tornado! Nothin but an 80mph blurrr.

Too bad it didn't have wings.[&:]
However I must agree with ya that a car at the runway would become boring to watch quite quickly. Simply because you're are allready at the top of the RC food chain. You start with cars & boats which can be mastered quite easily IMO. Then if you're marriage is still in tact, you go play airplane. Then the real challenge begins. First to convinve Momma that we can afford to do this. Then you actually have to learn to fly which after mastering cars & boats & watching guys that do fly make it look so easy, is gonna be a breeze, until the sticks are in your own dumb thumbs. Then the realaity of how just how large the gap between running an Rc car & flying really is!
By the way kill #6 occurred while camping & fishing over this last weekend. 4 mour & I'm a double Ace.[:@]
