Actually it is a LOT of fun and very relaxing. The planes I usually play with run in the $4000-$5000 range so going out and banging the sticks on a $500 arf trainer is just a blast, no pressure whatsoever. I really want to get a couple of nice profile ARF's like the OMP's just to play around with.

How long have you been flying and what plane are you wanting next? Did you come into the hobby with a particular discipline in mind to get into eventually? There are a million directions to go in RC flying.. I basically am trying them all! My favorites are Pattern, 3D, and I would someday like to get a P51 and a Spitfire, big ones in the 1/3 scale range. AS you can see I also like to fly helis but they are a WHOLE different ballgame.
