I used to do Nitro RC cards a few years ago. Then someone jacked my freq in a race and I crashed into a wall.  $350 down the drain. I never built another one since.

I used to fly nitro birds.....planes and helis, but it just got too expensive and time consuming. I might pick it back up after college, but I'm definitely going to electric.

Yeah electric is cheaper too.

I also did the planes but one of the servos fried and it flew into a lake. That was it for that.

That really bites Noner

No what really bites is that I jumped into a lake trying to catch my plane before it went under.
I had just finished fixing it with a new engine. As soon as it crashed, I jumped in the lake with FULL CLOTHES and SNEAKERS on and starting swiming after it.

It wouldn't have been as bad if it was summer and not November, and if it was a real lake instead of a big drainage pool.

I wish I was joking. Needless to say the plane or my sneakers didn't make it.
