[RKDinOKC]

RC planes has changed so much since I was into it. Sure glad I sold all my stuff several years ago while the radios were still worth something. A good place to fly is too far away since they put a highway in where the best field was. The closest field has asphalt runways, but there are too many trees too close. Causes crashes (wind) and you have to look up to high to fly above them. The flyers there say you get used to it, but I just couldn't see getting used to crashing my planes.

When I flew often there were days where the winds here in OK were over 20mph. Lots of people were still flying. Went to a rc field in Alanta area, the wind got up to a whole 8mph and everyone packed their planes and went home.

Never got into boats or cars/trucks, but there was a big indoor car track in town with both a scale dirt 1/4 and 1/2 mile oval and a 1/10th configurable road course. There was also another r/c car shop into nothing but Drag Racing. They had a 1/10 scale 1/4 mile drag strip with christmas tree lights and everything just like a full size drag strip, crazy.

Now I just play with the helicopter stuff. Was able get get a small one and learn to fly in my 2 car garage. Feel like by the time to learn control well I won't need to because stabilization and gps is making flying them so much easier. Some of the new cameral platform quad copters are just amazingly stabile.
