I live in Ewa, just got out of the Air Force and havent flown yet. I have a park near my house where I am thinking about taking my OMP Pro Yak for a flight. I also fly a Aeroworks Edge 540 .60 size but I will fly that at a larger field. Those are my two planes right now, but I want to get the Great Planes Seawind electric so I can fly it at the beach. What do u fly and where do u live?

Sk8rob

Wow, that's right down the road from me. I live in Ewa Beach and fly at the park you're talking about on Renton road. When the kids are not playing sports I'm out there everyday after work. Other than that, I think Saturday afternoon and Sunday are the only days you can fly out there. I usually head out to the Kailua field on Sunday's to fly. I fly a Mustang, SHP 300, Funtana X100, EF-16, Trojan, and a whole bunch more...I'm addicted.

hey has it changed much there? can a single person get a heavy equipment job there and support himself ok,, i am newly single and that is a good place to live hahahawish i could

Sk8rob

Not sure if right now is the best time to come out here, the economy is in pretty bad shape. If you knew somebody that could get you in, then I'd say make the move. We can fly ALL year long out here

Cool, the field I was thinking about flying at is the one right across Zippy's. I think I know which field u are talking about, its on the left side of the road. So where do u buy your glow fuel from. I have a Saito 125 and Saito 82 on my planes so I want to run at least 15% nitro. What time do u go out to fly after work? Ya I know what u mean about addicted, when I first started flying two years ago I could only think about flying and buying more planes and stuff. But Ive slowed down my frenzy now and Im sticking to the two planes I got. How old r u? Maybe Ill come by the park one day and check u out. Give me your number in a private message if u want. Its funny because I thought you might have been these other guys that were flying the other night. Tuesday night at the park across from Zippys there were some people flying some electric planes with lights all over them to fly at night.

Ya I need to take out the Aeroworks Edge to the Swamp, I dont want to risk hitting something at the park. But I want to take the OMP Pro Yak to the park since its close, who has the best prices on fuel?

islandflyer

Thee is only one store I know has glow fuel in stock: Hobbietat in Kaimuki

Sk8rob

oh,I tried going to that park, but there are always people there when Igo. Iusually head out to the other field on the left side of the road around 4:45pm if it's empty. I was going to try and head out there tomorrow, swing by if you can. Likeislandflyer said, the only place that Iknow of to buy fuel is hobbietat...google it for the address.

Sk8rob

this is true, but I'll be off next friday-monday, so I'll be out there ALLweekend! you better come out and bring my favorite plane...

Where is the "swamp"? I maybe moving there and have a couple of gaint scale birds. like a Aeroworks 35% Edge 540 anywhere else to fly?

islandflyer

The "swamp" is the local name for the marsh area where the ASRCC (Aloha State Remote Control Club) flies. It is the only dedicated RC field on the island. I everything including the 43% Edge there.
I have attached a pdf of Google map showing the location.

Sweet thanks bro, that will sure be local as I plan on living in Kailua!


I have herd of people flying on NAS Barbers point? so no longer?

islandflyer

The only other real R/C spot (aside from the usual local parks and baseball fields) is the Marines base (Kaneohe MCBH) where flying is allowed Sundays only (when there is no full scale plane flying); that precarious arrangement may not last much longer, but it is currently an active club with turbine jets, war birds and other regular planes.
I just prefer the surroundings of a grass park, rather than being surrounded by pavement.

cool thats where i maybegoing. I guess I'll just look around before I start. Is the swamp 7 days a week?

islandflyer

Yes

Sk8rob

I usually head out to the base in the mornings on Sunday's until the glider guys leave the swamp at 1pm. Maybe you should let me borrow that beautiful jet to fly while I'm at the base

Aloha folks,

If I can find a place to fly RC airplanes in the Makakilo area....which "Beachbrada"and others mentioned. (They've mentioned an EWA BEACHpark don't know where itexactly is and ifit's okay..withthe sheriffs)..

Anyways,Id likedtryand give it a go again at age 63 years.. I never went beyond control line.. planes.. with names like Ring Master, Baby Clown..Top Flite .. McCoy 35, Thimble Drome Golden Bee etc. but I never graduated to Radio Control... Anyways,anticipating some good news regarding places to fly....

Does anyone have solid websites to buy a starter RC plane? There's seems to be a lot of them.. and between You Tube and Google.. I'm become aware of some names and products..

Sure would appreciate some referrals on somegood online stores.. or shoppes in Honolulu if any, I know it's not likethe ol' days.. when your friendly drug storessold model planes, engines and parts.. I'm talking way back.. circa 1960's .unfortunately not any more..

Phil, The best thing I can thing of is buying a foam electric plane such as the Parkzone Trojan. http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=PKZ5080

Or the parkzone P-51 mustang. http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=PKZ1880

I have owned both and they are very forgiving. I still fly the Trojan all the time. I gave my mustang to a friend or I'd still have it too.

The only place I know of is the hobbietat as listed above.

Happy flying

goirish

I would be happy to come down and fly with you.
