Default R/C Pilot

Well I fly R/C Airplanes about three times a week. I fly mostly Aerobatic and mostly deal with IMAC competition. (Similar to IAC Competition) I have a 40% Scale Yak 54 and a 32% Scale Yak 55. Also a 42% Extra 260 and a 33% Sukhoi. It is a awesome hobby to get into and I enjoy it every day that I do it!!!

Thumbs up Helicopter R/C's

I got hooked on R/C's about a year ago and fly mostly R/C helicopters. It is a great way to have some fun and boy does it keep the neuro-pathways sharp. A friend told me that by continually flying R/C's, his own sim PC checks were the best ever because the eye-hand coordination was so finely tuned.

Besides, it's fun to "patrol" the neighborhood looking for cats and small animals to go after.

Have fun !!

I had to sell my all my RC stuff when I moved over to the states. But one day when I am a rich pilot ( or at least have a job). I will start over again, I am keeping my skills alive with the realflight G3.5

Been flying rc for 18 years. Just got into IMAC myself a little this year, using a 2.6m edge 540t. Hay sukhoikid you cruze over on the FG I think I recognize that name or maby it's just a coincidence.

I chase kids around the park with my little super cub. They keep riding their bikes on my runway, which is actually a bike path.
