I thought I would start another blog about my recent foray into the world of Radio Controlled models.<\/p>\n

I have since childhood wanted various radio controlled models, however it has never happened, largely due to cost. Now I have more disposable income available than I did back then, some of those dreams can start to become a reality.<\/p>\n

The models I most craved as a child were a Tamiya Sand Scorcher<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Which is now being produced again after many years out of production, and a Bell 47G Helicopter<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

One of the best I have seen is the Century Creations<\/a> one, however, it is no longer sold, so I would be looking at Second Hand or something like a Walkera 4F200LM Lama:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Which, although not quite the same thing is very similar.<\/p>\n

Back in the real world, however, I appreciate that both of the Helicopters I have mentioned are very expensive, and I would probably crash them within seconds of trying to fly them.<\/p>\n

As such, I have decided to start a bit smaller and a bit more realistic and work up to these larger models. My list of models on my wish list is currently as follows, though it will probably grow:<\/p>\n

Helicopters
\nWKToys V911<\/a> or Nine Eagles Solo Pro 260A<\/a>
\nE-Flite Blade MCPX<\/a> or E-Flite Blade Nano CP X<\/a>
\nAlign T-Rex 450 Sport DFC<\/a>
\nCopterX Black Angel FBL<\/a><\/p>\n

Quads
\nWalkera QR Ladybird<\/a>
\nGaui 300x<\/a><\/p>\n

Aeroplanes
\nAXN Floater Jet<\/a>
\nFlyAngel Mini EDF Fighter<\/a><\/p>\n

Cars
