Mini RC plane?
I recently bought my father an RC Super-cub for father's day. Looking at the planes at the hooby shop and online kinda inspired me to give RC flight a try also.
However, rather than get a full size RC model, I was wanting to get a mini-RC plane.
Here's what I'm looking for.
Electric engines
7-10 minute flight time
Small enough to fly on a football/soccer field.
Easy to fly
Highly durable
Ready-to-fly
Price approx $40 or less
It can be either ground takeoff or hand-launch
I like the thought of the dual-engine models that use engine speeds to turn rather than rudders, but that's not required.
Amazon isn't much help b/c of a lack of reviews on many of the models, and many of the RC sites don't give all the information I need to make a good purchase
Thanks in advance
Alrighty. I have the perfect brand for you! Have you ever heard of Air Hogs? Their product line is best for beginning pilots. If you are not a beginning pilot, then the easy to fly planes and helicopters are good enough for relaxing instead of dealing with those hard to fly and maintain hobby aircrafts. From what i read about the mini- RC plane, I have tested many of the RC planes that will suit you well.
The Air Hogs Aero Ace have been my most favorite plane in the product line for many years. Although one of the batteries in the plane died out from excessive charging (not product defect, but from flying over 100 times) I decided to purchase another one. This is a bi-plane, not the jet. The jet is also good. It is more aerodynamic and fast. The plane charges up in 30 minutes (or less) and could fly for over 10 minutes; depending on how you fly. I get 15 minutes out of it sometimes. These are all hand launched planes. They have dual-engine that turns, no rudders at all. These both charge from the controller. Here are the links to the products. (You do not need to buy from this site, but it is for reference)
The Bi-plane:

The jet version:

Here is the Air Hogs RC F-16. It is a fast and aerodynamic plane. Although some people have said that they have experienced problems, I have not experienced any when i bought it and flew it. It flies great and fast. The charging time is 30 minutes and the flight time is about 10 minutes. It charges from the controller. Here is the link to that.

Those are the 3 highly recommended planes I would suggest to you from my experience. I personally think that the Air Hogs company is doing a good job at making beginner aircrafts. Check them out. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to message me, and i will message you back as long as you allow messaging in your profile. If not, please message me your email. Happy flights!

RC Engine LSN Tuning (Live demo on tune, rich, lean) -- Vid 8 How to Tune Series
If You Can Not Afford the Actual Race Car, Try the RC Nitro Car
If the extremely expensive race cars are out of your financial reach but you love how the BMW, Volvo or Porsche super cars race in the competitions, there just might be a cheaper alternative for you. If you buy a RC nitro car made exactly in the model of your dream racing car, then you can actually compete in races with it. RC nitro car races are very popular and although they may not be the same as racing with the real cars in a world rally, it still can be a very exciting race indeed.
Remote controlled cars have come a long way from being just a child's toy car to becoming exact imitations of actual racing cars with even the nitrous boost enabled engines incorporated in them. The technology used in these cars have advanced up to such a level that adults often find it to be their favorite pastime hobby to modify their favorite RC nitro cars and then race them. The popularity of such cars have reached such a level that the makers of the actual world famous race cars are making their miniature versions in the form of RC nitro cars.
The races and competitions that are held for these cars can now be joined by you with the help of your local RC nitro car club. Join a RC car club to know more about these competitions and the RC nitro cars and if you can not find one near you, then just join a club online. The best part about the remote controlled cars is the fact that even the better ones among these replicas cost a few hundred dollars while the actual car of your dreams may cost you a few thousand dollars.
A RC nitro car may cost you only 300 dollars or so, but get it further customized with spoilers, your favorite paint and a few other accessories to ready your little race car for the big races. The modifications may cost you a few hundred dollars more but the best customized car of your choice will be finished within 700 to 800 dollars at best. These cars are actually amazingly lifelike, what is even more amazing is the fact that they can whip up speeds of 70 mph with their small but efficient motors. An acceleration rate of 0-60mph in 3 seconds or less is not child's play at all! It is serious racing involving some serious speed.
The RC nitro cars won't make you bankrupt, but the lifelike models with their amazing torque and speed will let you feel the thrill of a car race. For many, owning a race car or driving one is an unachievable dream and this is possibly the closest that they will get to feeling the tension of a race and besides, it is a great pastime that will make both you and the kids in the house happy. Choose a "monster truck" or a brand new "Lamborghini", customize it in whatever way that you wish to and race it, because you are probably going to enjoy it a lot.
