So who flies electric rc planes?

I've got a small collection...

-Eflite Mini Pulse (450)
-Super Cub (w/ tons of mods)
-Easy Star (Brushless)
-Soon to come a DX6i

I love em all.

Anyone else?

I have a bunch of videos on youtube under "gavinleet" of the supercub mods if you'd like to take a look.

I love flying my parkzone typhoon 3D not really a true 3D plane but still fun as hell

Are you running all stock? What size motor does it have?

[jjdustr340]

I fly a Slinger, Mini Slinger, and a Slow Stick. All good fun!

I'm looking to get a trainer. Any suggestions? I want something I can bounce off the ground and be up and flying again ASAP.

The RC club I joined only allows helicopters during the last 15 mins of each hours (they aren't that strict unless it's really busy), so If I want to fly more than that I need a plane...

You will not be dissapointed with the hobbyzone supercub. All of my rc newcomer friends get them and have a great time. I've crashed it multiple times and she still flies strong.
But it doesn't stop there. Just because the supercub is a beginner plane doesn't mean it's a dead end. I've put ailerons, a bomb dropping mod and brushless motor setup on it already. If you'd like to take a look at my supercub videos they are on youtube under "gavinleet"

If not the supercub, then get a hobbylobby easystar. You can literally take off and set the radio down for 30 seconds before you have to pick it back up. It glides like a charm and it's a great plane for newcomers.

If you have any questions you can pm me

Can I buy a Supercub without the radio gear etc? I have a DX7 and like the idea of only needing one transmitter and the safety of 2.4Ghz so I don't screw up anyone elses models.

Not that i'm aware of. I believe this is the closest you can get

Do you just have the dx7/receiver or do you have a motor setup as well?

[Simon]

I have the radio, receiver, batteries and charger. No motor.

I have a DX7 running my rock crawler so that it can control the rear steer, and eventually independent rear power... all of it is set up with velcro and quick releases. So I could swap it into a plane easily.

I have another full set up permanently going into my T-Rex, and the CX2 is also DSM2.

Cool
I have a DX6i on preorder for months now...They keep setting the date back... How's the DX7 work? Ever have any interference issues?
Have you flown/built planes before? And are you familiar with everything as far as servos, sc, motor and all of that jazz?

GWS Slow Stick. It's a great trainer, can take a decent beating, comes ARF (just add radio, receiver, servos, and battery), and can be replaced for about $35.

It's also easy to upgrade to brushless, and can be use for Aerial Photography.

Another good choice

I have a parkzone cub i used to fly. loved the thing. but when i tried it fly it in a 15knot wind = and no more cub. I also have a Eflite ultimate fx but i haven't flow any rc plane in like a year and i'm scared to fly it with its brushless motor and all that jazz

I had a Fliton Mini Extra 300s, then i forgot to screw the prop tight and when i was doing a hover, it popped off and gullionited it in half.:sadface:

[lester98c107]

between me and my dad we have a few homemade foamies and 2 zagi's

[05 ProStock]

how'd you make the foamies? Just flat cutouts?

[lester98c107]

yeah, blue housing foam. They're great for flying indoor since if you bounce one off a wall and smash it you can eather repair it with hot glue or just cut out a new piece, like $20 worth of foam gets you around 5 or more planes plus some extra parts.

i'll get some pics tomorrow and post them.
