Anyone else into remote control aircraft?

anyone else into rc aircraft? i'm currently rebuilding a wrecked align t-rex 600N DFC helicopter i bought off ebay for $150. a new kit runs around $900 not including radio system or gyro. anyway here is what i started with some parts were useable and some i tossed and bought new parts. i'm rebuilding as i get time and money to play lol.

this is what i started with

well guess that answers that! looks like i'm the only one that has any remote control aircraft on here.

I got an RC plane one Christmas that I promptly broke the wing off of. Bought a new wing. That one didn't last long either.

Bought an RC helicopter and that didn't last long either. Seems RC toys and I don't get along very well. Which is unfortunate, because it was fun while it lasted.

lol idahoscrapper. have you tried one of the flight simulators for rc? like real flight or something simular? thats what i used when i first started out. saves money not haveing to replace broken parts lol.

quite the talent

i fly a DJI Mavic Pro. Had to get my FAA permit and Reg numbers so I'm "official" It's alot of fun for sure.
I started with mini remote helicopters but no ability's on it to video. That's why I love the Mavic- I can shoot videos
in HD and its a very stable platform- flies real nice. Have fun putting that back together and more so when you get to fly it !
