Hit 75 today

[DJ Taso]

But I didn't do anything with my car. Instead I took my r/c plane out at the model airplane field with my g/f. We got there at 10 am and left at 5. It was a lot of fun. I saw jets, props, and heli's. I also saw a crash today for the first time. The guy lost it in a nose dive and couldn't recover it. It was a pretty nice plane too. It must of been a .60 scale size. He crashed it a couple yards away from us, but you could feel the ground shake on impact followed by a loud boooom!

Here's some pics of me getting it ready,






Here's a video of my airplane after landing. Upon landing, I lost the nose gear wheel. One of the guys at the field helped me out and capped it back on. It was pretty funny,

Yea its been about 75 by me all weekend! However I polished the Z and man does it look good. Thats a nice plane you got, I have a SIG LT40 thats has only been flown once, and a Traxxas Nitro 4-Tec. I have the 2000 SS camaro body on it, and some mods. But anyways have a nice week

Looks like you're off to a good start! Seems to fly really well for an ARF plane. Noone thought much of the ARF planes back in the 70's when I was flying. I kinda stopped flying R/C when I started flying the full size ones. The nearest R/C field to me now is a 45 minute drive. When i was flying it was only a 10 minute drive to the field in Kailua, so I guess that's why I'm just not thrilled with the long drive here in NC. I've seen some spectacular crahes (a couple of them were my planes, lol) helo's usually did the most damage to themselves.
Have fun!
