Planes, Helicopters, Boats Section???

Hey guys as you know we have a variety of enthusiast on here and we want to make sure to cater to everyone. Having said that how many of you guys are also flying and or boating

Well, thank you for asking, here my son and I are into R/C Scale Boat Building, Model Rocketry, R/C Tanks, R/C Sailboats, Fast Electric r/c Boats have a few Rustlers and Stampede but have not visited a track yet.
Have only used them around the neighborhood. All are brushless but we can easily downgrade to brushed if need be.

Just started with the Team Valadez with Rock Crawlers, first time we have so much fun with Wheeled R/C vehicles plus we get to enjoy Nature since it is like going on a field trip when going to the different Rock Crawling places.

It is a great group, very nice people, great family activity , maybe now when getting to know some of you guys we will be interested on visiting the Track.

Were planing on getting into Airplanes but discovered R/C Crawling and loved it.

I guess Airplanes / Helis will be our next sometime in the near future.

Thank you for asking... El Paso R/C .com ROCKS !!

Thanks for the feedback pickleb. I'm glad to see you and your son are having a blast with the hobby and that the site is resourceful for you

Just got a TREX 450 heli. Im freaking nervous just thinking about flying it. Gotta get good on real flight sim before the first real flight.

That is great !! Though Santa was arriving tonight !!! Heard that the simulators are even harder than the real thing.

Anyhow, last year was looking into Helis and found Folk are very helpful at the R/C Airfields. Did get around asking questions and watching them fly here at the Northeast R/C Airfield.
I'm sure you may also get some good advise from real time flyers.
Wish you many happy flights !! Maybe when I get one you could help me out with it.

Erick ...

Thanks! Yeah I the heli guys here are cool. But now im hearing i should have gotten a 500 or 550 sized one do to them being more forgiving. Those 700's are freaking huge..

Is the section up?

I am an all-around hobbyist now.

Got too many R/C's now. JK never will i have too much of them. LOL

Whoever has experience on boats, I think I can use some help or hand on a great deal on boats.

Have 3 boats that will go for $150 obo PM

I just got a dx6i and a couple rx's I've been wanting to fly so now just gotta get an airplane well i'll let you guys know when I crash and burn LOL

Sweet! Thats the controller im gonna get also!

I have the same controller too.

I have:
extra 300 3D UMX
Sukhoi su-26xp
Blade MCX2

all of them fly well indoors.

outdoors: not so much

RTAMAYO86 Did anyone said Boats??? That is my main . What kind of boats are they,
I am usually into Scale / scratchbuilt boats but do have a couple of brushless fast brushless electrics Aquacraft Deep Vees.

Once I finish with the "Sand Crawler" Hybrid (a Rock Crawler with oversize track on the rear and wheels on front, all wheel drive) will start getting some boats ready for Spring. R/C Sailboats and R/C Scale Fishing Boats, these need some detailing, fast electrics are ready to go.
During the warmer months Ascarate Lake gets overtaken by algae then props and rudders are not effective. Spring,Winter and late fall are best at Ascarate.


There is always room for one more boat... would like to know what kind they are.

By the way, this Sailboat on my Avatar today and here bellow is the Huge Sailboat that was at Hal's on display for many years, have it at our living room but also do sail it at Ascarate, did a lot of restoration and it is Ready to Sail anytime.



Sails like a feather..... love it... it is a Robbe Atlantis two masted Schooner. It is one of the eight Sailboats we have. El Paso have lots of R/C potential. Will send you a PM.
