steven,
A suggestion about using RCU's forums that'll help you get your ideas across more efficiently: Upload photos you've got right into your post. That way, they all are visible at one time, and they're right there in the post for people to see without any effort at all. If you look at the lower left of the input box, you'll see the upload link switch. It isn't in the Fast Reply box, but is available on the box that opens for starting a new thread, and the boxes that open for a Reply or for a reply with Quote.

It looks like you pulled those pictures off websites and plugged them into a photo site under your account. If you've got pictures you wish for people to see, plug them into the post and people will see them right away. Saves the readers time and effort.

And truth is, lots of readers see a post with almost no info, but some links, and they blow that post off. And a lot don't bother to click the links or look at more than one picture.

I am by no means an expert on planes but that B-52 looks really close to being a B-29. Just an observation of course. Good Luck, Dave

Hello Steven. The first plane is absolutely horrible. You have to hand launch it which is no big deal. But the controls on the plane are horrible. The plane goes up and down. It can't maintain altitude. It has no controls to make it go up and down except for letting off the throttle. The turns are made by one propeller going slower than the other. I bought one off of eBay over a year ago before I got into flying and boy what a waste of money. The flight time is about 8 - 9 minutes and it takes almost 20 minutes to recharge. After about 10 flights the flight time was down to about 6 minutes. BIG RIP OFF. You get what you pay for.

All of those 'planes' are cheap throw-away, junk, toys.

Don't bother, IMHO.

Yup they target the holiday "toy" buyers.

These things typically get destroyed during their first attempted flights.
