Love the plane but hmm i dunno...Just dont fancy them .. may buy a glider/trainer one day just to try one but cant see me ever getting into them .
As for electric cars..Great fun and mad power but really cant be bothered with all the battery charging .. Plus decent batterys/motor/speed controlers aint cheap and with 5 min run times its abit much .

Persil

yup electric planes have really took off thanks to brushless motors and LiPo batteries. light and quick.

Yeah they have.

Got loads of them myself, but i also have heard about a better battery then the lipo. Only being used in the military right now but will filter through to the hobby scene in about a year.

Prefer planes, you control them unlike the tether cars.

Thats only about a £150 setup there.

Haha, love that launch. I'd get bored of planes pretty fast, on the ground the environment is always changing so it's always new, in the air it seems liek it's always the same.

(p.s. I know it's not but that's how it feels to me)

Ok, you meet up with me and fly one of my planes and try to tell me that.

Though i could see it ending with my plane on the floor in many bits...

MR2 vs Revo

It seems zippyvideo's aren't a very good host if you want to retain image quality
