The RC Hobby

I've been in the RC hobby for a while, its great fun. Here are a few photos of some of my airplanes.

Here are the photos that didn't make it.

Uploads aren't working right now, upgrading the forum today and not there yet.

I don't currently have any photos of the R/C products around here, however I have been into R/C since around 1985 or so. Started with some of the finest products on the market (in my opinion.) When I first got into the hobby, it was popular to have the Tamiya Clodbuster, which was 4x4 and 4 wheel steering. Quite a huge R/C truck that had two 540 motors and would run around 20mph and could literally hop a standard curb. We built the Clodbuster, a Tamiya Blackfoot, Tamiya Hornet, Tamiya Grasshopper, Tamiya Lunchbox, Tamiya Super Beetle and a Subaru Brat. After a few years of those, we graduated to R/C aircraft ranging from the PT40, a Biplane and a few .46 trainers for club members to train with. My favorite R/C hobby came into play only about 15 years ago, and that was R/C helicopters. At the time, I didn't travel as much, and our family lived near Tom Sawyer park in Louisville, KY where we were able to meet with the flying club periodically and enjoy a few evenings of flying each month. I sold all the airplanes and helicopters several years ago to avoid "hangar rash" in our move back to Lexington, KY to be closer to family. I have enjoyed the hobby for quite a long time, and still retain my old original Tamiya R/C trucks and cars. Rarely do they make an appearance, but they are ready to run to this day. I actually bought some off Ebay for my sons over the years as they were just made to last.
