All my quadcopters are manual control, just like flying a heli. Try flying without fpv or heading follow. No body up here races so i just fly them for fun. We used to have a few 150mph+ foam jets, but they meet their demise lol.

Dang, that’s sweet! Have not flown a plane, but I do have a bunch of hours on a simulator.

planes are easy compared to heli or manual control multi rotors. I'm not a speed freak, but my buddies were.

shakey video, they are hard as hell to track at that speed. Also it was like 8 years ago LOL look how far cameras have came.

I can't even comprehend how guys do that (jets), I got to fly buddy box at an rc show, it was a rush! I have been exposed to the hobby off and on throughout life but did not get to fly really at all. My grandfather was big into it at one time. So I bought an electric one and got to eager while at his house...crashed it because of the wind and I forgot to shut the flaps off. He told me it was to windy but man I really want to fly with him.

So now it is time to fix it and I hope to fly this summer.

I think me and the guy flying in the video are going to join the local club again this summer for something to do other then fish. We have both been out of the hobby for a few years, I still have my planes but he sold everything off. He was big into helicopters too, I was most plane or cars and trucks. I still tear up my drive way with the 2wd and 4x4 slash, I think my daughter will like them too.

Surprisingly, spending $500 on a 1/10th scale Bronco didn't quench my thirst.

1/10th scale. That's pretty good sized. Where did you get it?

You have toys, they're just all broken.
