50cc 2stroke r/c stunt plane, belongs to my buddy's dad. i feel bad for him since he just got done getting work done on it. took it out for it's first run of the day and everything was going well till he was coming around to land (2:00mark). :rolleyes:

These things look like a lot of fun, but you just know its gonna have a date with gravity sooner or later and ruin your day.

That stinks.

I had one of those Traxxas T-Max's a few years ago. That thing was a riot, especially when chasing the cat around! :naughty:

I think if I ever get back into RC I would like to try an airplane. Engines last longer. I had to rebuild that truck engine about every gallon or so of fuel burned due to running on the ground in all the dust and dirt.. Stupid thing was fast. Would do 45mph or a little better when dialed in good. 2 speed automatic transmission.

Try a better air filter. Ive got several gallons through my engine, and it runs like new. and I wasnt easy on the thing at all!

Just as I clicked the video my playlist changed. Lenny Kravitz - Fly Away. Song started so tight with the video that I thought it was part of it. How appropriate.
