Me, me!
Parkzone Cessna (now retired)
Parkzone Typhoon 2
Parkzone Vapor
(noticing a trend?)
Hopefully soon a Parkzone Su-26m, if it's ever released.
I want to scratchbuild something sometime for the Vapor brick (actually planning on using it for my B-rocket glider entry at NARAM), but really looking forward to that 6-channel AR6400...
For "real flying", an electric sailplane, converted from a homemade HL Sailplane with a unique tail I designed (it was the first time I was trying a V-tail. So I compromised with with half of a "Vee" and half of a "T", and named it VeeT). Couple of photos below.
For fun flying, some Air Hogs Aero Aces "jets" (have also done them piggybacked on a rocket) .

It is a custom-made model. Three 18" lengths of BT-55. The lower 18" is the main body. The upper two 18" pieces are a 36" nose section, plus nose cone.George - which rocket do you piggy back the aero ace on? That sounds like fun
I have crashed a couple
Cheers

I usually crash within seconds of launching a plane. It sure took the fun out of the hobby fast.
I've also noticed that diehard RC fliers seem to be intimidated by rocket fliers.

Plus the attitude of the local R/C guys about newbees was...not what I would have expected.
Not exactly "civil". Actually it seemed down right rude.
After playing with a few $20 foam RC's my daughters expressed a STRONG interest in something more durable. We ordered J3 Piper Cub RTF which had been back ordered for a month but is shipping to us now.
Looking forward to trying it, apparently is a great beginners model.

I have the following but, not all have had their maiden flights yet. I still consider myself a novice r/c flyer.
Hobbyzone Cub - Great Intro into R/C
Hangar 9 Alpha - Great Intro into Glow
Hangar 9 Ultrastick - Great Second/Third Plane; acrobatics
Top Flite A6M, Hollywood, Zero (Saburo Sakai colors)
Top Flite F4U, Boyington #883
Top Flite P-40, Welch Pearl Harbor
Top Flite P-51(B), unbuilt but will be Pacific colors
Plans for Ziroli B-25 (for Dolittle's Raid)
Actually, I like flying separate sticks. So I fly elevator on right stick, and “turn” on left stick, regardless if they use ailerons or rudder (I have never owned an R/C model with both ailerons and rudder. Even my shuttle orbiters use rudder!).Looks good... The radio layout might be a bit awkward though... It is usually easier when you have elevator and rudder on the same stick. Every time I have tried to fly with it on separate sticks like that I tend to dive when I want to throttle up .
