stevo_m Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) Never realised the hobbies crossed over so much!! I have flown FW at the shows around the country for the last 8 years. Mainly big stuff, 150cc+ and jets. Been doing alot of glider towing over the last 2 years though 1/3 scale. Also had a rappy 50 with all the bling, excellent fun to fly.

You can use various makes, just make sure the length is correct for the model!

I would buy align 325's about 8 quid a pair unless you plan on killing a few.then you can get a few pairs of align copies for the same price atb Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camera onboard and goggles to see what the camera is seeing and go fly like a full size. It's causing major issues for the CAA at the moment as people are using these to fly through the middle of major cities, 1 video I saw was flying through New York. Not good in the present climate!

Steve its causing major issues not just because of where they fly but rather what they fly with? in this country 2.4g is limited to 100 milliwatts, but some of these uncontrolled and non caring ****** are using 1000 milliwatt system bought from china and are swamping an area for miles around them and "shooting down" legal flyers planes.
