The Ultra Micros are $99 each without the controller, and $129 with one. Great deal! They also come with a battery or two, the charger, the box which doubles as a carry case. They fly for about 8 minutes on a charge, then recharge in 20. The batteries are just a few bucks a piece, so get 5 and you never have to stop
 I also have the Su-26 Sukhoi (ultra micro sport plane) and the Blade Mcx and the Blade Msr (the ultra micro helicopters). They are all crazy amounts of fun, and almost indestructable! They have a 3d ultra micro on the way, and hint at more warbirds, but won't say which just yet Lucky dog, I was drooling over that 109 at Hobbytown a few days ago! Its HUGE and looks GREAT! The big fields are so far from my house I've been selling off all my big planes and going micro, so sadly I can't pick one up  If you want real frustration, pick up a heli. Most stressful thing I've ever flown! Hit the ground even hard and its $$$ along with a week of trying to make it flight normal again The fact it can remove small limbs and dent cars with its spinning carbon fiber death blades adds to the 'experience'... How do you like the K98? I've got a PU Scoped 91/30 and an M44. Liked the Mausers, but the Mosins were practically given away as door prizes around here so went the cheaper route instead

[/QUOTE]Well I have not actually fired the K98 just yet. I need to clean it and oil it up. Also need to get some ammo. I cant wait to shoot it!! Still has all markings intact.

Learning to Fly RC Planes
imnotgeoff,
Best way to learn how to fly is with an RC Flight Simulator. Here's alink to one: http://www.realflight.com/ Its a lot less expensive than buying and crashing planes as a learning process -- and not nearly as frustrating. You crash in a simulator, and you just laugh and hit the reset button. You crash one for real (and I've crashed many) and it ruins your whole week. It also lets you fly several different types of planes. I've got an older one than the version I've in the link above. I don't know where you live -- but alot of hobby shops will usually have a flight simulator in their store that you can try for free. Naturally -- these are my opinions only.

And that's a good one.  Rc are expensive and it so easy to crash. You have to try on sim at least to get used of the controls and how it works. And how to handle reverse control (when the plane is coming towards you) - that's not very natural You can connect your controler via USB Once your plane is up in the air (which is not very difficult to acheive), that you have made some 8 and slow turn, remenber that you have to land.  And that's the big part lol Last edited by Benrizz; 10-08-2009 at 04:52 PM.

Nah landings not hard, unless you planning on being able to take off again then it gets trickier
 .*looks at his heli* I'll keep my mouth shut.

I'd say by the time you learn how to hover a virtual 3d plane from all angles, you have a solid understanding and muscle memory to fly your first RC plane - you can probably even start with a low wing model coming from the RC sims. I put in a solid week (probably 3 to 4 hours a day) of Realflight, got to the point where I could land, take off, and do all the 3d stuff with the 3D planes before I picked up my first RC plane (Precision Aerobatics addiction - awesome plane if you like to show off). My first 10 flights went off with no problems, my only wrecks have been due to pushing limits (all easily repaired too)- not due to any control confusion on my part. I credit that with the time I put in with Realflight. These rc flight sims are awesome tools that the old school RC guys probably wish they had when they got into the sport.

Another vote for the free RC sim. They make a great one for helicopters too (also free) called Heli X. These will save you a BUNDLE in the long run.
There's even a simulator on Xbox live Arcade you can download that is good for a start. A little arcadey, but it will teach you the most important part, which is orientation and control when flying AT you (gets most new pilots, myself included!). I've got an 8 yo son who played around in my simulator, and we can now fly out in the front yard. He has a two channel, moving up to a three as he has it well in hand. Lots of fun! Be sure to check out RC dogfighting too! I have the 'Sonic Combat' modules from parkzone. You get on another planes tail, pull the trigger on your controller and if you hit him, his motor turns off for a few seconds sending him doooooownn.... Loads of fun! I believe it works with all the new warbirds they have too. Just waiting for them to port it over to the micros. Also have a bomb dropper, onboard camera... The fun never ends with this stuff!
