Default RE: Heli vs Airplane Beginners Forums

Druss,

Some of the airhogs you could fly inside without too much trouble but the good ones are still better suited to a frontyard/backyard or driveway etc. I've got one of the aero aces, single winged one that looks kinda like an intruder. Two motors, a little lipo inside. All foam. Steers with differential thrust.

Its a blast, usually they have em in the same section as the little helis. If you can find one, (the biplane, grey one like I have with a "408" sticker on the wing, or the f-14 looking one) I would pick it up. Even if you don't much care for planes you will have a big grin on your face from this toy. I can honestly say, it is the best 30 dollars I have ever spent in my life on anything to do with rc. If I had gotten one of these as a little boy for xmas, I can't tell you how happy I would have been....really are that good.

Nothing like those junk havoc helis where you have no control, you fly this thing where you want it to go. I hotglued some little guillows wheels to it and do rog's from my driveway.

Now that I'm done hijacking the thread for air hogs

I started with two planks (an avistar 40 and pt-40), destroyed them both. One of them, while buddy boxing with an instructor. The avistar went down on its maiden, pissed me off because I didn't even crash it. The instructor did. After a couple minutes of flying, the engine stalled. He took control and then flew it into the only tree at the field. Took a break from all things rc after that, started with helis when I got back into it because I could hover in my driveway. I've since bought a plane and found that my heli skills have made flying a plank natural instinct.
