Default I'm Hooked!

I have been into RC cars off and on since high school (late 80's). I put a PT40 trainer together as a kit build while stationed in Korea, but never flew it. I watched a friend crash his and just didn't want to take the chance. I received a ParkZone Vapor for Christmas and have regular access to a gym... I cannot tell you guys the amount of fun I had flying that little plane. I am hooked on planes now. I go to the gym almost nightly and fly. I will stick with the Bind-N-Fly planes for a while since they are so economic, but do forsee spending a bit on a bigger plane down the road. I look forward to talking with everyone and learning as much as possible. Thanks in advance!

Once you get a bit more comfortable, go out and buy a BNF SuperCub LP. I learned to fly on the non-LiPo "old" version(along with RealFlight simulator) and had no problem transitioning up to my NexStar when I switched to nitro. The SuperCub is a great plane as are the other ParkZone fliers. Welcome to the addiction!!

Its good to see you having fun. Later on if you do decide to build again..You will have a hobby that is available to you summer and winter. Inside or outside !

And I guarantee you there IS a even greater joy when you take up one you built.. More of you goes aloft with a kit airplane than an arf.. It makes you feel like you are the lost WRIGHT brother !
