Back from an 11yr break and could use some input Hey all as the title says I am back after a lengthy break and I see the hobby has drasticly changed. I need to get new gear and not really sure what to get. I see some good deals on nitro machines but I also see alot of them are not made anymore. It seems nitro is pretty dead and it is mostly electric? Any input would be greatly appreciated and if this is in the worng place just let me know and I will gladly move it
I should also add I am on a bit of a budget I still have tings like my Futabab 9c radio, not sure if it is anygood anymore and i see hobbyking sells a module to convert to 2.4? Thanks |

Im in the same boat. Got my license flying real planes, got instrument rated, bought an airplane, flew for 7 years, sold it and here I am again. Last dates on my gear are 2002. An attic full of raptors,a crashed Hirobo shuttle, an un flown fury, even a 6 foot long Vario bubble canopy gasser. I went to the local hobby shop and found out that electric is really coming on strong. I love to build things but I never really got proficient at flying. So, I bought a Real Flight 8 sim which I try to fly every night and I bought two electric Blades ( one trio and one two blade) and a good charger. These choppers are great right out of the box and Im doing a stable hover now. In the meantime im pecking away at the older nitro machines trying to get them flying. 60 size raptor is big and heavy but its stable. Engines that sit for 12 years gum up so its a challenge but the e-machines are a lot of fun and not too bad on the wallet. My two cents. David |
