Any people around who like/fly Shockflyers?

I just finished building my 4th Shocky. It's a mini Shockflyer this time with 48cm wingspan and 55g of weight ready to fly.

I forced myself to take some photos over the last 2 weeks while I was building it. Maybe someone likes them...

Now I'm waiting for a day with absolutely no wind to try it outside!

Nice but i am more into rc cars and boats.

Lets make this into the official RC thread.

ye i bought a f35 aa nitroplane,sat 2 years,than charger gone,bought a nice1,couldn't charge battery,2. cell gone,bought new battery,plane wont do shit, byby 250 $

+1 to everything Gino said.

I have two monster trucks ( one is the traxxas t-max)
and a TC3 RC car.

still vary nice though rediske.
where is the controller btw?

Nice got pics?

I got this one, a cheap bonzer thats modified a bit, but maybe i will buy a HPI Blitz.





And i also have a boat like this one.

I really want a gas-powered R/C car, but they're too noisy to drive round here, and there's nowhere else to really use it.

How much was the Yak? And do they do twins?

Why do you want a gas powered car?

-They are slower
-They are more noisy
-More maintenance
-Much less reliable
-More expensive
-Heavier in most cases
-More time setting up than driving it

Only good thing is longer run times.

Planned first flight today with this model http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGABGqqJ9QY , far too windy so will try tomorrow
thinking about getting the Yak http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1015793 .

im currently flying... well hovering mostly a hk450 (ultracheap chinese trex knock off) and ive also boutgh an hk250gt which thus far has given me more trouble than proper flying

once i get the 250 to behave ill be thinking about getting an mpx funjet... one thing ive noticed though 2 seater cars and planes with non detachable wings dont mix well

You forgot +They are more awesome


The same reason I have a water-cooled PC really. It just seems more 'fun' regardless of how practical it is.

WOOO i love the wrangler!

Ill have to go take some pics. I dont have any right here.

Not much of a fan of the 3D flying (except for watching the helis.) I prefer flying way up high and just soaring around.

Have to get me some equipment. I haven't had a plane in the air for a few years. I'm really interested in the FPV flying.

They are not more awesome, do you want a offroad car or onroad?

You won't be doing this with a nitro/gas powered car.

The wrangler is the body from an old Nikko car.

Show me yours!

...that mini Yak did cost almost a maxi 190EUR (the nanolite 2g 6ch receiver alone was 55EUR)

I am so tempted to get one of these: (>200 km/h)

Ok.

But still electro has more advantages.

Quote from rediske :

there:

That would be the receiver. By controller, I would assume he meant the transmitter?
