kapitan88,

kung hilig mo r/c plane marami nang lumalabas na RTR or RTF-ready to run or fly medyo mura, electric powered is preferrable to newbie kasi easy to maintain/use and cheaper compare to gas powered engine..i'm not really sure sa sabi mong china made as long as hinde chinese un instruction maybe its ok

try to get atleast 30-36" wingspan kasi the bigger the easy to control, check for the availability of the materials for replacement, lam mo n kasama n dyan un crashes..get the average one don't get the cheapest coz madisappoint k lang...then medyo mahaba un pasensya while learning kasi dami error dito but lots of fun..gudlak...

sir, i could be wrong but i believe it is 2.5 cc. i do know that it puts out about half a horsepower. it's the stock HPI 15FE engine.

papalitan ko yung body when i learn to drive better. i was thinking about getting the carrera gt and cadillac escalade bodies. buti na lang cheap ang bodies dito (USD 25) because i have a feeling i might be replacing often, hehehe

knight23, the boats are great, thanks for posting,,ur dad is not just an enthusiast he's seriously expert with this stuff,,they do business for this? just curious...have u tried playing?..the picco engine is beefy for the boat size, it's gonna be real fast..

**knight23** · August 8th, 2005 07:20 AM

backbone, enthusiast lang ang dad ko, yung friend nya is the professional. hehe

i played with the tunnel hull during its brake-in, i was just running it slow, that's the only time i've played w/ it. i think it only ran a couple of times, hindi rin pwede sa open sea kasi unstable. i'll try to find some old pics...

i dont think its beefy, kasi wood na man yung hull and its 3ft long. wala ng time yung dad ko. busy na sa kanyang fishing. hehe
