Sounds like a good opportunity missed there.  Especially if the motors were 4 strokes.   I was going to migrate over to much larger birds, and gas motors, but came to my senses.

No doubt... I think I payed close to that for one of my engines alone! So those planes you posted are electric? or are they nitro and you're talking BIG planes with Gasoline engines?

I dabbled in about everything they sell in a hobby shop for a while. Like most kids I started out with plastic models, trains, slot cars, and then R/C... but living on a small 25 acre lake, I went with Boats. Built 5 over the years, Here is couple that I have pics of.


Here is my f/glass .60 (10) Microburst monohull good for about 45 MPH



 


My stick built .45 (7.5) nitro White-Heat hydro. She'll do 60MPH on a glass smooth day
