I construct and fly model aeroplanes and helicopters both nitro and electric.I am in Arrowe park and Deeside model flying clubs.Not the easiest of things to learn or do and you need to be very careful and patient,you need insurance and a licence and be trained by a tutor who know what he or she is doing as it can be very expensive taking your planes home in a bin bag.Here are some photos the first photo is one of mine.Thanks for looking..Happy landings

Are they in stealth mode?

I was too long editing ..lol so they must be,I will have another go.

acouple more...

Nice - some serious kit you've got there...

Holy Cr@p!!!! thats awesome mate I think ive seen it before. I'm gonna have to come see this.

How much does something like that cost, just out of interest?

To be honest the cost is too much,as you have a lot to loose and you cant insure the loss of a plane..To start off cheap,get a second hand set up around £150 with a trainer aircraft with the wing on top.Move on to a low wing thats the wing underneath the fusalage.Then once you master that the sky is the limit.Jets come in all sorts of form from ready to fly,build from scratch,part built,second hand.I would say they start around the £400 mark up to £1000,s My jet is worth around £1500 if I sold it second hand...fusalage about £500..engine £2000..electrics,batteries,servos..about £200..retractable under carrage £200 then you have to put it all together and then test fly and hope you got it all correct or you are in trouble.On top of this you have a transmitter from £60 to £1000 chargers,spares,starter pumps..fuel about £15 a gallon for prop planes and £6 to £7 for the jet.[jet A1 or Parrafin} thats what a full size jet runs on just pure parrafin.A gallon for a prop plane will last about 8 to 10 outings but the jet fuel will use 3 litres a flight in about 8 minuites top speed around 200 mph. Have a look on youtube for a r/c hotspot and then r/c A380 and it will give you an idea how much it can cost if you let it..thanks for the interest from every one....Dave

Nice!!! I have a friend who flies them too. He's just come back from a show/competition in the States. I've seen these a fair few times at Air Shows and never tire of them!

Thanks for sharing

He must be good at it and dedicated,out of my league Im afraid.They have all the best shows and comps in the states and they pay alot less for every thing as well.You can get things sent over but you pay duty on it,cant win...thanks for looking.

I used to make them from scratch when i was a kid with petrol motors. Used to fly them from the old RAF base in West Kirby, using the bases of the demolished buildings to take off and land on! even did the "Fly-by-wire" planes, controlled on steel cables like kites!!

Control line the ones with wires.One man in our club does it but only once a year at our flyin at Arrowe park.I have seen them the shows {Nationals Barkston heath Lincolnshire}doing combat and a pulse engine as well in a wire cage.It got up to an amazing speed the feller hanging on to a post in the middle,funny sight.scratch built ones now are becoming rare as it is cheaper to buy them built or almost built.closest shop Steve webb Frodsham has a good selection and he on the net.

theres a guy im subscribed to on youtube that has some fly by wire videos.

That outfit looks more professional that Easyjet!

i see my father in laws car in one of those photos

have seen u fly the jet in AP very impressive

There is about 4 jets in Arrowe park club,On a nice day you may get 2 but loads of prop planes electric and nitro and helli,s too.Any body can come down and have a look ask the lads about there planes,fuel cost etc,and you get to see some very impressive flying and equipment..thanks for looking and hope this is of some interest to you all.thanks

am new too flying rc planes and like to learn , i havent got a plane yet but i have got a flight sim on my laptop and learning to fly and i find it easy too fly in a sim but is this the best way too start b4 i go on a field and have someone that knows what too do if i get in too trouble and can land it for me , in the sim i can take off ok and land ok but its not like the real thing has the sim has not got wind .ken

Hi Ken,Flying a sim will do you no harm,it will give you an idea what to do and what the plane wants to do.The trouble is you have no wind,no depth and speed and other things that happen.Your transmitter setup and engine setup grass length and holes in the ground,sun in your eyes etc etc.Dont let me put you off going down to Arrowe park and joining the club.If you get any radio gear try and get the make called futaba,as that is what most people fly with and will be compatable with yours if you want to learn to fly with a buddy lead{a lead that goes from your transmitter to the persons who is training you and should you get in trouble he flicks a switch and saves your plane..with luck..Go down and have a chat and have a look at the planes ask questions..no one will mind..cheers Dave

ok dave thanks for the info so whats the best days too go to arrow as i was going to go on sunday but the wind was bad plus just read on the forums that someone was hang him self rip so i also like too do indoor as i have watched loads off clips on utube cheers ken

sat and sun are best days after or around 11am.lads fly after work too up till 9.30pm on the summer nights,tues and thurs are for electric only that gives the hospital 2 days rest of the noise,The lads get together for indoor flying at Pensby school on a sunday I think? best see some one down the field or go to the wrcfs {wirral radio control flying society}site on the net,that will give you more info.You will need insurance as well.If you join the club for around £70 thats your insurance and BMFA {British model flying association}membership and club fees,we have to rent the park off the council and need things like radio checking gear,tents and a load of other gear,we are quit a healthy club with around 60 members..check us out..Dave

ok i will see u hopfully sunday
