Who is into building drones and RC Planes?

[joshwaggs]

Both hobbies seem to require focus and patience. Makes sense people would be into both. I know of a few people here that are.

I do rc cars. Use to have a bunch but now just down to a 1/5xmaxx, 1/6 Losi Super rock rey and 1/8 arrma nero.

I tried helicopters. Holy crap they are hard to fly.

Lol, I put cameras on cars and fpv them, but I have never built one or even owned a good one.

FPV racing quads, racing tricopters and generic long-distance drone flying for me :D haven't done it in months though! Just became a pain with the cold weather

YES! I’m not good at flying anything, but I love building them. FPV planes are a blast though and easier to fly (landing is the pain).

I was into FPV droning a few years ago before the FAA was cracking down, when they did I sold off my gear, but now it seems like they have backed off since most are now set with altitude limits. I am going to try to get back in it soon. I loved flying fast and low through the trees

Yeah, I haven’t heard much about that new policy they were trying to create. It wasn’t realistic, so maybe they just walked away.

 

[George J Staniscia]

RC planes about 10 years. First electric jet from wife for Christmas

 

[Waters]

I am currently into 3D RC helicopters. I have a Blade Nano and a Blade 230S V2.

 

[Darren in Tacoma]

Campfire Girl did a great job helping me build this one. I fly the planes, she races the rc cars.

 

[virtual reality]

I just do the cars and trucks. I have 2 5th scale ones. Rest are 10th. I think I have close to 50 of them...o_O

 

[brandon429]

I worked for four years on that system. Finally was able to leave my neighborhood and darn near cross to the other neighborhood all from inside. fresnel zone is uber hard radio work

control is 72 MHz vtx is 900

this was v2


v1 got smashed by a tan Tacoma, I think out of spite

 

[Rhoads238]

I used to race nitro rc cars, I had a 1/8 scale kyosho mp7.5 inferno buggy. That thing was so much fun.

I freaking love fpv cars. Did you use head tracking?
