Any RC Pilots out there?

Thank you. Really like the SF Giants. Not much into football, but really enjoy baseball.

That Sig Bipe is also very nice. My first plane was a Sig Kadet. Lots of gluing back then learning to fly. Lol.

Thanks, again. That Bipe really flys nice. You can't see it, but my pilot is Dave the minion. We have one guy who just had a 30 yr old Sig Kadet finally give it up. Flying along and everything was so fuel soaked, it just came apart in the air. It was a REALLY slow flyer, so no harm to anyone or anything. Just the Kadet.

Funny, this is what happened to my Kadet. I used to enjoy the challenging winds and roughed it up a bit. Nothing would stick to the oil soaked framework. In a 10 mph wind the Sig would fly in place hovering so nicely.

600 & 700 Heli’s. No smack - slow and smooth (too old and not enough talent). The local hobby and I have been taking a few years off.

I like to watch a good scale heli fly like it's designed to. Not much into heli 3d and such. It is impressive to see, but not for me. I'd hate to be a pilot on board one of those things!!!

Very nice! I also have a Jug and have not flown it yet. Saito powered.

Since I'm off work today (sick) I figured I would do something useful and take a pic of a few planes. I'm now sharing space in the basement with the grandkids toys. Lol.

The Extra 300 has a 2.5 Hp electric motor powered by a 4400 mah Lithium battery. The cub is powered by a Saito 70. The foamy in the back is the plane I have been referring to for the rally where I hand launch this plane. It's a great little 3d plane to throw in the truck for those days where I want to get out there quickly.

Radio is an Aurora 9.
