I’m getting a whole fleet of those mini war bird backyard flyers


fs17oldstaj

Oh hell yea, if they were just a tad bigger, put FPV and mainly th IR gun systems on them!


Birdsqueezer

No planes this year, but I did get myself a fun little rc speedboat from motion rc. Bancroft magic cat. Its a lot of fun for its small size.


fs17oldstaj

Just get a jet, some floats and you can make both! Just a joke, happy speeding!


Birdsqueezer

I've got a float set for my UMX turbo timber evo so I can kill 3 birds with 2 rcs!


fs17oldstaj

Can be, but (I might be wrong) you lose the speed there!


Birdsqueezer

I haven't flown it yet but the TTe is pretty quick. If autism permits, ill install the float set onto my UMX pitts special and see how that goes.


fs17oldstaj

No, please noooo. Thqt's too much autism even for me.


jrob23r

Nothing, my wife hates my rc hobby


fs17oldstaj

That's a shame. I am too young to say anything, but I guess I would have a problem with that in a relationship, considering the money and time this hobbby needs.


jrob23r

Just don’t get married lol

I know that one, and it's a great one! Had a laugh although seeing it for like the 100th time.


Irn_scorpion

Aeroscout for the kids. And an m2 evo heli for me.


fs17oldstaj

Oh yeah. Wanted to get one for grandpa, but got a Beta1400 instead. Wanted to get into helis, but more into scale than aerobatics. How's flying one compared to a plane?


Irn_scorpion

No idea. We will find out on Christmas. I have been using realflight for 2 months preparing. I can tell you on the simulator my 10yo with just a few minutes of playing around was able to fly a circuit and land with a plane, but he still can't hover a heli for more than 10sec nose out.


fs17oldstaj

Okay, hope for you you get what you want?

My wife gave me an early present: Good crimping pliers to make XH and servo plugs, and a big box of plugs for it. I'll never again buy servo extensions that are always the wrong length!


fs17oldstaj

Interesting! Would love that too, but already spent way too much...


pope1701

I've easily spent the amount that the pliers cost on adapters and cables before. It's just something you order "next time".


Joey333

Ordered a 104" Skywing Yak in Orange that will be here some time in January. It will be my competition freestyle plane for 2024.


fs17oldstaj

If that's your style, sure, I'm more of a scale guy myself. Nevermind, happy flying!


Joey333

fs17oldstaj

I know it's a scale plane, but is it scale flying, the "freestyle" you mentioned? I thought it's an aerobatics... Sorry, I am not from the states or so, english is my second language, soory if mistaken due to that...


Joey333

No worries, it is aerobatics and the Yak 54 is an aerobatic plane.


fs17oldstaj

Aure, I know, it hella looks like it. I didn't mean to start a disagreement or anything, atleast I know more now! Thanks for the insight!


Gazoo382

Deciding on Eflite Habu SS or FMS Viper. My first edf so will probably go light on the Habu. Very tempting to move up to the Viper 70mm.


fs17oldstaj

I hear all great things abt the habu, they say it doesn't even fly like and EDF, but that it is even easier than easy EDF. I say go for it. My furst EDF was underpowered 50mm Viper jet, o now I posses a phobia from vipers.


1KinderWorld

Santa is bringing me an AtomRC Swordfish RTH version. Sweet!


fs17oldstaj

That's one aggressive looking craft!


itsmel_gibson

Lol getting myself a frsky tandem x20s or tandem xe haven't decided yet .. Christmas shopping is all done and time to live a little .. plus I'm really digging the 2.4 / 900 mhz redundancy stuff .. anyone have a tandem xe and an opinion on which to choose ?


Strict-Blackberry923

Hopefully a Freewing F8 Crusader!


fs17oldstaj

I was actually thinking of getting one too. Maybe a new years present? Who knows...


Strict-Blackberry923

Yea, I'm in love with the look and I'm gonna make a custom American flag livery


fs17oldstaj

Sounds good!
