I am.... sorta... I don't have much anymore, I used to have a whole bunch of RC 1/10 electric cars, a .60 size nitro helicopter with JR 10s remote, I have a Zagi flying wing somewhere in storage... I still have an RC10 B3 team kit.... and some old Tamiya hard body electric RC car.... I used to work at a hobby shop back in 1999/2000, during my senior year of high school.... a lot of money made there was put right back into the shop I have thought about getting back into the RC world- as soon as I am "settled" but that may be a few years... There are lots of nify things out there nowadays huh!
I've got a raptor 50, Trex500, Trex450, MCX, CX2, AX-10 crawler highly modified, vapor, trojan, pz corsair, estarter, ember and lots of spare parts and junk hangin around..alot tied up in that hobby. im startin to actually think i have a hobby collecting hobbies though.

The collection over the years; Kyosho Pajaro .10cc Tamiya Midnight Pumpkin Tamiya Hot Shot II Tamiya Astute Tamiya Grasshopper II Associated RC-12L Tamiya Bruiser Tamiya HKS Opel Vectra Kyosho Concept 30 SR Helicopter Unknown 2 Meter Glider Hobbico .45cc Trainer
I´ve still got about twelve fully functional electric airplanes in my basement that I haven´t flown for years...and two that I haven´t even gotten around to assembling yet...how was I supposed to know that motorcycling uses up such a lot of time on warm, sunny days? Why didn´t anybody warn me?? Thanks for starting that thread, reminds me I really ought to get back into my old hobby a bit. All that stuff is quietly starting to go to waste, epecially the batteries. I, too, have got too many hobbies...motorcycling, bicycling, R/C airplanes, archery, reading most of all :huh
try the parkzone trojan. ive ripped mine completely in half before and was back in the air in around 20 min. easy to repair. the only problem i have with the trojan is the stock radio, ive seen a few that glitch in mid flight. mine was spektrumized before its maiden..
i had several others. gave them all to my kid. he loves to fly the stuff. i had better luck with the "air hogs" planes. simple. nearly indestructable. and CHEAP. got 'em on clearance at a Target store. 20 bucks ready to fly.
