Do I fork out .....

Post by Mutley »

Do i fork out 36 notes on the upcoming pew pew squadrons game or do i fork out 30 notes plus extra on building a rubber powered bird dog plane which i sell on ebay after its built but it will be collection onlyand can deff sell it for 40 or 50 notes.

i know that in few mths i will be bored of pew pew however i know that i love building and making things , even if i dont get to fly them. i cant travel to a feild to fly a plane be it rubber powered rc electric or slope soarer. you guys know i have limited funds and am crippled and losing what sight i have left.

Desicisions ghhrrhh

Used to love building a plane by hand, only to watch it smash to pieces on the first flight...much like dcs

Good luck and happy building and flying!

Here's my first build I hope it goes better than that.

i do remember assisting a rc pilot who lawn darted his kite, by assist i mean actully dig the wreckage out of the ground to retrive the speed controller reciver and servos, quite funny seeing a chap go home with a bag of bits instead of a asembled kite
