My New Hobby, RC airplanes

whats a good forum or something to read about helicopters or planes? Sounds like fun, I wanna price something out =x.
There are way to many to post, Just Google RC Plan, Car, Helo.

Just be ready to shell out Big bucks and lots of time for it.

I got a Raptor 90 Helo and a JR radio price unassembled $1400.00 online.

I also have a 1/4 Scale Pitts Special hand built. The kit was $500.00 and probably 200 Hrs building time.

THis "Hobby" eats Money and time like the Goverment:eyebrow:

All these are harder to Fly then the real Deal.

 
What makes the hobby so $$$$$$$ though? I mean wouldn't it be like car audio in a sense that I don't need the best of the best just budget stuff? I'll google for some forums though and see what I can't dig up.

 
You can start out with a ARF "All Most Ready To Fly", A good Radio for around $500.00. Get the biggest you can afford. Bigger is easier to fly and see. Stay away from Fighter planes cause they are Pro stuff till you get it down.

I would also get a Sim cord for the radio, So you can practice on your Computer first. Wish they had that back in the day, I would have saved some Cash.
