Started in late 90s with fixed wing, stayed with fixed wing. Built several ground up, and bought several ARFs. Started getting into Quads in 2008. Now, almost exclusively Quads. Man, I tried the helo thing. Spent WAY too much money trying to master the art. I'm also a pilot (Single Engine Rated / Non-Instrument) who has friends in the helo-pilot world. Never could get the hang of it, lol. You are better than I am in the helo arena, that's for sure, lol. I'll stick with my "safe" Quads in my old age, lol
are you me!??
I also started late 90s with fixed wing, flew mainly 2 stroke 6.5-10cc some ARF some build by myself. Tried out (electric) helies, but it never "clicked".
Also got my PPL (SEL), also no instrument rating.
Got back into RC a few years back. Mainly with drones, I did buy two electric airplanes first, but only flew 2-3 times. had a Mi 4k, now basically only fly my MPP.
