RC Airplanes

When I was a kid, I always wanted to have a remote control airplane. I guess I was into any kind of RC vehicle, but never actually owned an airplane. It dawned on me a while back that there was nothing preventing me from realising my childhood dream, so I went down to the store and bought into a new hobby.

My First RC Airplane

After a fairly minimal amount of research into an ideal first airplane, I ran off to the local hobby store and picked up the Super Cub LP. It's what they call a trainer, a plane designed for learning to fly. It's relatively slow (top speed of 30 mph), has forgiving flight characteristics, and takes a crash pretty well (supposedly). All that said, it wasn't the plane that I intended to purchase, but they recommended it over the one I'd been looking at. Plus it was in stock.
