Any RC pilots on here?

Just wondering how many here fly RC planes / Helis?

I have a Tiger Trainer 40, an electric Trainer, and an electric Esky Honey Bee King II (3D Heli).

I want one of these next:

A Kyosho Mirage EDF 45! It has an Elevon

Oh and I have Reflex RC sim which is invaluable. You can even plug in your own transmitter!
I used to practice in stupidly high virtual winds and then one day, I got caught for real and I managed to bring it in safely!

Yeah i got an ESky Belt CP last year thinking it was for me! boy was i mistaken cost me as much again in spares within 2 months.

All the set-up etc involved was a bit above me, i got to a decent hover stage with it but another crash came and i havnt fixed it up since.

For sale, spares or repair.

How much better does the fully foam bodied ones hold up?

its not , i can recommend you a much better plane

these are the two best planes for your money hands down, the first one being the super cup from hobbyzone. Its durable and easy to fly.

The second one is the slow stick by GWS. Its hailed as the most versitile and expandable park flyer out there and can be upgraded with tons of modifications.

I live by an old airfield, though it's well past it's prime, I don't even think it's legal to take off/land your plane there anymore. Anyway, I always see R/C pilots using the runway to launch their planes. And I've often thought about joining them, but I'm not sure I have the time or money right now. Maybe at some other point though

Thanks for the recommendations.
Im loving the look of the GWS one.
Are they available in europe?
How does it cope with wind? (Denmark is a windy place...).

Edit:
The hobbyzone looks quite good too and is avalible in Denmark. Guess its time to go talk with the finance miniser (ie. the wife)

well the slow stick is tricky because you have to build it and buy more parts for it. thats why its so cheap.

bur the supercub is a really great buy and its pretty big so the wind wont effect it much
