My primary focus is surface stuff, but I've always been fond of aviation, I have a small 6ch indoor helo, a 40 size trainer, and a pocket drone. And I want to fly more often than I can(The trainer, sadly, hangs on the wall because it just isn't practical for me to try to get it airborne having never flown fixed wing before and living somewhere where there just isn't any reasonably close flying fields for me to randomly pop down to). I also love engines of all sizes, leading me to a pretty strict 'ICE Only' policy for fixed wing RC aircraft on account of engines small enough for 15" span planes being a thing.
The drive to fly fixed wing without having to worry about one error turning a beautiful plane into a pile of matchsticks is what brought me over to Flite Test and to the cheap, easily repaired, durable designs on offer. I'll be doing a Spear build powered by a pair of pusher Cox 0.049 throttled engines in the coming weeks/months, which should be great fun! Shouldn't have to worry about the residues melting the foam with this thing and it shouldn't be too hard to fix when it crashes, perfect for me to teach myself to fly on!
I have a soft spot for nitro groundpounders, too. Nothin' quite ups the grin factor like a bunch of blue smoke and the wail of a tiny two stroke screaming along at 30K RPM! Hehe.
