RC Randomness

Yeah I consider myself extremely lucky to do what I do.  There is money to be made as a professional UAV/UAS pilot…RC cars and that type of thing, not so much. There are only a handful of guys that actually make a living racing cars. as far as owning a track or hobby shop, yeah that’s a tough business to be in…the internet is king for that stuff now…we have 2 local hobby shops and I only go there for glue when its an absolute emergency…There is really no place to go and buy the equipment we use in giant scale airplanes, I order everything. RC cars are really the only thing in the shops in my town…and even that stuff is very limited.

R/C motorcycles anyone? Looks challenging.

 

I'm at the age where "fuck off", "fuck you", and "fuck it" answer most questions.

This video has nothing to do with R/C, but it is aviation related. It’s a little over an hour long and is Brian Shul, SR-71 pilot, giving a brief synopsis of his life in a motivational speech. At the end, he tells the LA speed story. If you don’t want to watch the whole thing, just search  “LA speed story” on you tube.

thats quite a look on his face… 😉

Bums me out that I can’t find enough extra time to do some RC stuff…  but unfortunately.. it seems the more I work, the happier I stay.. 😳  🙄  🙄  the fewer focuses, the better I can focus on what I am doing…. damnit…  🙄  🙄  🙄   I should just delete the RC section I guess….  🙄  🙄    I had a lot of fun times racing rc cars in the late 80’s and 90’s… 😉   hell even some in the 2000’s I guess…  seems like I always get back into it at some point…

Beautiful machine. I’m amazed at how well you guys can fly them without the seat of the pants feelings.

Nice Justin. I wanna see some stunts with the big plane!! I was thinking about the risk/cost associated with that one.

My new project. Built this over the last three months. Need to install radio, and it’s ready To go. Plans built, called the Sweepy.
