RE: A good, cheap way to get started?

Heh so do I! All hail the spacebar =)



*grin* While I don't care if I crash I feel like I probably should care more than I do. I'm afraid one day in real life I'll be practicing hovering...

IC = Internal Combustion



Most of the time, 40 mins of flying ( 2 packs ) is more than enough for me to get my fix in one day - there is only so much adrenaline I can take at a time! But...

RE: Why do so many newbie's want electric????

I can't deny the draw of the Raptor .50. =) Great performance, handling, and more importantly the local hobby shops have tons of spare parts. I'm having a good time learning on my Shogun and RFG2...
