This happened quite a while ago, but I never compiled all my photos and the few videos that I took.

It's on, trinomials. And, of course, I squeezed in one Scout CX flight between this! Now that I'm done, it's time for more flying!

Couldn't create a full movie about it (that was the original plan), so I created a short movie.

Official Vacation + Movie Trailer

I'm going to be creating a movie about the 1/16 Turnigy 4WD Brushless Buggy. Instead of creating 5 bashing videos of it in a row, I'm going to be focused on 1 big project, the movie. Here's the trailer for the production... I created lots of bashing videos last year within this same break, April vacation or spring break, same thing. If you'd like to be notified of videos with the 1/16 Turnigy Buggy, please subscribe to my channel!

In the video it says vacation is in 8 days... well, that was a while ago, so it's wrong now. The video was uploaded on the 5th.

I'm torn between too many aspects of this hobby...
Help! / Posted by DJO / Apr 10, 2012 @ 04:19 PM / 2,230 Views / 17 Comments ( Multi-page thread 1 2 ) / Reply
Hey Everybody,

So... as normal, I can't make up my mind. After having (R/C) 4 planes, 1 car and 2 helicopters over the course of about 1 year, I now have ordered two more cars. All the planes are either non-working or have been sold to fund the cars, and 1 helicopter was parted out. The car was sold because it broke too easily and I couldn't keep buying more and more parts to keep it running. I have 1 ultra micro coaxial helicopter that still works - barely, though. In the near (or far) future I'm going to be making about $200 in which I'd like to spend on R/C, of course, basically my only hobby. But no matter how much research I do, I can NOT make up my mind. Seriously. I like aerobatics and flying - $200 will definitely not get me another good R/C car, and I won't need another one anyways, so it's between helicopters and airplanes. No boats because I don't want to have to go down to a lake every time I want to run one.

I'm both interested in 3D heli and plane flying - both of them seem like fun. I've had some collective pitch helicopter flying experience, so a mCPX would be ideal. However, helicopters are complex and can't handle crashes like planes do. (And you can't just glue them back together - ) But I do like the idea of being able to fly inside on rainy days. Also, helicopters are more expensive. Planes may or may not be better for me. I've had more R/C plane experience than helicopter experience and feel confident and skilled enough to either get a...Continue Reading

I finally got this helicopter to fly just like it used to last Christmas when my uncle gave it to my brother... but he's not really big into R/C, so he lets me use it because mine broke. Anyways, here's the video:
