tooley Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 there's a big airshow just outside of southport every year in fact its a big show of everything with cars clubs and everything but the name of it escapes me at the moment. at that show theres a lot of model aircraft displays and ive seen a big lancaster there that was a work of art and looked amazing also seen a lot of model jets on display there also.... a lot of those guys say they prefer the jets to the helicopters as they are easier to control but im not sure myself those jets undergo a lot of stress in those turns and some look fragile to begin with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteA Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Ive been into off road nitro for a while now, Currently have hong nor x1 bugy&truggy and a crt.5. Used to have a savage, hyper7, rush and rascle. Have dabbled in flight, but that turned out to be a poorly conceived idea, one trip to the playing field was all that lasted! Currently toying with the idea of of a Blade MSR - should be easy enough for even me to fly! I was at the southern model air show last weekend(with the off roaders), great fun! They had a 1/2 scale prop plane of some sort:search:, couple of red arrow replicas in formation which was fun to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aero-M Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 now thats a real nice list and a few quid spent. Certainly adds up, very addictive hobby to have is modeling. I do have lots more that I buy and repair/restore then sell on as a little money earner. I could sell the lot and have a tt coversion with change. Haven't brought much since having children though.
