  • RC Airplane Stuff

    Just picked up a Duraplane Trainer 40 last Thursday. This thing should take the punishment I'll dish out to it till I've learned to fly.

    Also just ordered a Spektrum DX6i radio. Cool thing is it will do helicopters too. Maybe I'll try that sometime. Been flying helis in RealFlight G4. Takes some doing.

    I'll post some pics of my workbench later. The plane is already in progress.

    This stuff is being procured through http://www.hangarhobbies.com located in Wichita, KS. Sure, I could order all this stuff through Tower Hobbies or another online site, but it's hard to hold a conversation with a website and get questions answered, ya know? What surprises me is they match Tower's prices. Sure makes it nice to have a good hobby shop this close.

    Oh, and the thing is getting a OS 46AX engine. The remote needle valve is a really nice feature. Should help me keep my knuckles intact. I don't like the idea of breaking an 11" prop over my knuckles.
