Re: RC guys

dont you hate that ..... i always do stuff like that . i say to myself wait until your in a field or track ... i ignore that voice and brake my shi* on something dumb

was fun well it lasted... was jumping on and off of the pad using the excess gravel as a ramp. You'd think with 5 feet between the anchor bolts, I would have made it through...lol.

Oh well. Got a shock rebuild kit and the smashed steering parts coming. Should be here just in time to smash it in to something else!

Old picture. Since this picture, engine swap to a picco max .26, wide ratio gear box, forward only conversion, new arms (RPM), bunch of other stuff (yellow antenna shaft ). stock radio.

Re: RC guys

I played a little more with the Sukhoi today.... now I'm loving it. It took a bit to get my controller setup properly... but it's easy to fly now and a total blast.

To answer the "where do you fly"... I agree with the above. As long as you use common sense, you shouldn't have a problem. If you have a plane/heli with any sort of serious power though, you'll probably want to join up with one of the RC clubs.

Where do people fly in Calgary? I know there's a spot east on McKnight, but can I just go to a school yard? Rules/Laws?

I'm not from Calgary, but from what I understand both Calgary and Edmonton have city bylaws prohibiting the use of RC aircraft and other RC vehicles in city parks and streets. Although, most people I know who fly park flyers have and do fly in parks and they have not run into any problems with authorities.
IMO, if you use common sense like not flying nitros in the parks or not flying your park flyers when the parks are congested with people, you should be ok.
Basically, if you don't give anyone cause to complain, you shouldn't have any issues.
I only fly my planes when the parks are empy and usually if anyone does pass by, they usuualy just stop and watch the planes for a bit and move on.

Keep in mind though, if you do crash your plane into someone's property (car, house, ect.) or worse into a person, you're on your own liability wise.

If you do not want to take any chances what so ever, I suggest joining a local RC club who has a flying field.
