RC Junky

Carl Rankin, a model plane builder who creates impressive R/C planes out of take-out food cartons, drinking straws, sewing thread, Reynold’s wrap, and tape (among other things). There’s also a fun video that uses Wonder Bread like clay to create “dough-mation.”

This guy developed a camera that mounts into the cockpit of his r/c plane and transmits to a headset worn by the flyer. This looks like an awesome experience. Anyone want to donate me the equipment to build my own? (more…)

RCSuperPowers has released another cool video. This time its of a Flying School Bus that Transforms?

Watch the video to see more. I believe that they are selling to kit to make your very own flying school bus as well =)

Heres what RCSuperPowers had to say about the video:

We will have more Bus videos on our website and our youtube page over the next few weeks. The final project will be done in March 08. Subscribe to our youtube channel for updates. (more…)

Watch this RC Mig 29 Jet do some amazing 3D aerobatic stunts. Hats off to Sebastiano Silvestri the pilot for demonstrating his amazing performance. Man I wish I could afford one of these Jets anyone want to donate me one?

Heres what the poster mosartsebben had to say about the video:

Radio Control F-22 thrust vectoring fighter jet. Remote Controlled vectoring thrust depron foam airplane plane. RC Dog fight. 3D (more…)

Heres a great un-boxing to flying video. In this video Joehandsome99 times himself on how long it takes to build it. If you can follow the fast paced video maybe you can learn how to build and fly your own Sobre 3D Profile RC plane It is kind of fast but its still fun to watch the process.

Heres what the poster joehandsome99 had to say:In the video, I show how long it took me to build the Sobre 3D Profile RC plane and then take you to the flying field to show how it flies.

My Sobre 3D Profile setup is as follows:

Futaba 6EX-2.4GHz R/C Fasst system
4 - E-Flite S60 super sub-micro servos
Park 370 brushless outrunner motor 1200Kv
10 Amp pro brushless esc
3-cell 740 mAh 11.1V Li-po battery.
9 X 3.8 slow flyer prop

Thanks go out to George Hicks and Jon Leyland for the plane design. Also thanks to E-Flite and Horizon Hobby for selling this great plane. (more…)

Heres a great compilation of an Airshow sponsored by Trylordy and Venom Racing. These guys are good =) Now only if I could fly like that;)

Heres what the poster jp00000420 had to say:

Airshow sponsored by Trylordy and Venom Racing. Nitro rc planes and jets show off some awsome control in front of a crowd. (more…)

Man this looks like it hurts. This guy is lucky the plane didn’t go strait into his head =P. This is why you DO NOT i repeat DO NOT!! stand in front or in the way of a landing plane.

A short compilation of very funny video clips showing peoples attempts to fly RC airplanes and gliders. Sometimes they really do seem to have a mind of their own and are bent on attacking their owners Great for some laughs
