Any RC airplane people in here?

nitroplanes.com has awesome warbirds. I have one of the 1400mm P51's that has yet to take flight. No time to go crash the thing....full retracts and the yellow/silver version of the red/silver above.

Mine has not flown either. I really want to though.

Not a Plane, but I have a Exceed Raptor G2 3d Helicopter I want to find a home for. It will need one main rotor blade and a battery. It has a Nicd but is bad, I have an E-Flite Lipo charger to go with it, also have a zipzap from radio shack vintage and newer camaro bodies, upgraded motors and trans gears, a 2 channel micro heli, and a larger 2 channel heli. Not much into the RC stuff and would like to see all this go somewhere. PM me or you can call\text 903-819-6430. Looking to sell the Raptor and throw the others in for your kids, nephews, little siblings etc. I'd give them to my nephew, but at age 5 it'd be like throwing them in the trash.

I finally flew my Big P-51.

Take off was almost as shaky as my camera man. But once I got it trimmed out it flew well. It was a bit under powered but we think that it was due to a bad battery. I already have a new one for this weekend.

We also do dog fighting. We use foam board from hobby lobby, and hobbyking electronics. turns out to be around an $80 plane. but each rebuild costs under $3.
here is what they look like new.

they hit about 60 to 70mph, and are a blat to fly.
We started out using streamers. For those who don't know you put a 10ft streamer of the back of your plane, and if the other guy cuts it your out. But after a while it just turned into full contact fighting. But mostly its just chasing each other around and getting close. There's only been a few actual hits.
Today was different. First flight I hit another plane, but with only minor damage. The second flight was more exiting. I didn't see the other guy until he literally was flying through my plane. here's the carnage.
mine is the all blue one. He was able to land safely but mine lost control and crashed in a pasture next to the field. But both were trashed.

This is how you know you have had a good day at the field.

So I have been obsessed with speed for some time now, and as of a week ago I finally broke 100mph. This weekend I'll be aiming for 120 at a pylon race in Denton.
Here's my rig. It's a parkzone gunfighter that I converted into the "Galloping Ghost". As a memorial to the pilot and spectators who lost there lives.
