I flew a RC plane

[iceuk]

Never flew a rc plane before but I was lucky enough to get given a spitfire by a forum member, just had to pay postage, spent £20 getting her together.

I really enjoyed myself, watchng a spitfire flying around, only damage due to my poor landings was I tore the gun mounts off.

Then I got the heli out and man it's a lot harder on the brain, I can understand why ppl fly planes especially if your a old coger (-;

Here a video of the spitfire, sry poor quality and flying lol but the landing is epic

Move along, nothing to see here. Its just a plank.

...not just any plank... but the plank that won us the war according to old people.

I agree though flying a plane is a much more relaxing experience than helis.. in the process of building a wing for when i want to chill out.

I do agree with you iceuk, I really enjoy flying my Blackhorse T28 with 17cc Petrol (gas) engine, Wot4 with OS46 and Acrowot foam-e.

The last two weeks the above is all I have flown, I just find sometimes I need a break from the intense concentration of heli's.

Thanks for posting the video, T28 on the ground only, engine test here:

Got to say , never had the grin factor as I get from helis with planes . I come home feeling epic now. :worked_till_5am:

I must admit I had thoughts of getting a plank , however following the counciling has helped a lot and I think I'm over it !

I have a little umx sbach 3d and it's a lot of fun. I don't fly it often though.

Nothing wrong with Planks. Flying both helps. I've flown them for 25 years and Helicopters for the past 3. Without question, my plank flying has been improved by flying helis and I'm certain it works the other way. Flying toys at the end of the day! Get yourself a Funjet with FPV, that a good laugh, too! :)

Oh yes. Top gun turns flat out under the bars at the rugby field.

I came away with a smile for sure great fun watching my spitfire fly past me, still prefer my heli but I am glad I got a plank for those days when you want to relax (-:

Helps me chill after Heli fly and has made my Heli flying better.
Build you own spitfire cost £40 in total and they fly great.
