It's been along time since I have payed any attention to RC Planes, I've
only flown a couple and never have owned my own.
I would like to get into it some with a gas motored plane and a decent radio
so I don't have to buy new equipment down the road again.

Greetings fellow flyers -
I have a trainer with a 4.8V receiver batt connected directly to the
receiver. It works, but I have seen people at the flying field charging

read this and if possible (they usually dont listen) they will

Just read the other thread about Sandown 2 questions
if your buying what's the best show to go to
and if you want to watch a decent flying display which one to go to
showing my age now I used to love going to Sywell  expo's of the 1980's bit

Just purchased a mini (not yet arrived) and was wondering if any discussion
groups existed.  Flight pack choices, batteries, the like.
Thanks

Probably one of the most important events for years, concerning the vast

Well folks, just a few more days until Sandown, anybody going?
I know a lot of people slate it for one reason or another, but I went
for the first time last year so have no prior experience of it, and I
enjoyed it for what it is.
