Calling all park flyers!

Would anyone be interested in an electric R/c model fly-in / Fun fly at Perry Lakes if I were to organize it?

I know there's a few closet Hobbyists amongst us, so why not get together?

An example of the models that will be flying on the day (so far):

Electric ducted fan jets
3d aerobatic aircraft
Scale aerobatic aircraft
3d Helicopters

This is open to anyone who's interested in R/c Aircraft, the more the merrier!

All modelers welcome, but Electric models only to be flown on the day (2.4 Ghz radios preferred).

Depending on the interest generated here & the opinions of others, I would look at arranging this for a Sunday afternoon, say 2 - 5 pm within the next 2 - 4 weeks.

**Note: Pilots must be able to fly safely (i.e in front of a marked flightline) for the safety of other modelers & spectators.

EDF Jet primer:



Please show your interest & whether you plan to fly on the day or spectate.

+1 for spectate.

It's a hobby I've been interested in for a while but haven't done anything about, so I'd love to come and watch.

Cheers,

Hey, Ive wanted to get an RC plane or glider for some time, the electric ones seem to be the go these days, can anyone recommend me a brand to look at? What would I need to pay?

How good are the planes/glider is any sort of wind? Whats the range of them? I assume the plane/glider would be almost too hard to see before it got out of radio contact?

The new 2.4 ghz radios have a line of sight -digital link- with a range of approx 1.5 km.

Your best bet if you have never flown is to get a simulator for your pc, there are free ones (google: FMS), use that to get a feel for it & get the orientations down pat before buying ANY models...It will save you bulk $$ & disappointment.

Your best bet for a first model is something made from EPP foam, it's pretty much unbreakable.

^^^^That is bloody awesome. Very nice flying indeed.

Are they the same planes they use for the RedBull Air Race, in a larger version of course.
