Missing a few parts, but looking good.

Maybe I'll fly this weekend.

D and I flew a short combat session at the flying field today,. We had one solid contact, which I won -- he immediately glided his combat wing back to the ground while I was still flying. When I brought mine in for a landing, I saw why he'd come in: half his prop was embedded in the nose of my plane.

No other damage done -- he replaced the prop and we finished the session later (with no more hits).

Looking for fellow Lemmy RC hobbyists

RC Airplanes are a wonderful and relaxing (depending on your craft, lol) hobby.
And it's also quite affordable with ready-to-go starter kits for just over $100.

But if you want to join an RC club to get access to an actual flying field, you have to shell out $50-$85 per year for the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) membership in the US, and an additional $100 per year for most flying fields.

I mean, if you're serious about your hobby (any hobby), that might indeed be chump-change to you, but it's really not a trivial amount of money at all.
