Do any of you pilots, have OTHER R/C interests, outside of MultiRotors?

The computer is XP. Not sure about autocad. The program I use is Aspire. I have about $1700 in the program. It will do some 3D work. What I like about it is I can design in the program and convert to g code to run the machine. When I started the project I had no idea how this stuff worked. I mainly use it to carve signs and plaques and some engraving. I use Mach 3 as the controller.Stepper motors. 4 of them.

I went to one of my standby flying fields one afternoon and found a guy running a four wheel truck down the trails that I usually fly over. He was all over it. I watched him as I set up and really enjoyed how quickly he was able to react. He walked past me, once he was done, and I said... "**** impressive skills, bro" He glanced back and said... "yeah. Not as easy as that quadcopter crap..." So... there are apparently a number of skilled dickheads about... Just sayin'....

Sorry to hear that Slinger,
That guy sounds like a real

The gas trucks are a bit more aggressive to safely navigate rough terrain, especially trails and such, as my basher does nearly 70mph, where the quads are a bit more relaxed, but I would not say harder or easier to control, as you still have orientation and distance issues to deal with, same as quads or any RC based hobby! That guy should check out quad racing videos, or videos of people flying manual! I'd bet he would change his high horse tune!

Fly Proud Slinger, we still love ya!
I just love the sport of it all! Some days I tear the ground apart, other days I harass the birds, then for dessert maybe a little wave rippin, or wet grass sliding! I like to tinker on bad weather days! I welcome anyone to pick up Any RC hobby, it is all FUN!

Your friend,

I got into this hobby/sport totally by accident. Only a few short years ago.
My very first RC model was my Parrot AR Drone 2.0 which was purchased in a Source store. Then I made the big mistake of going into a Great Hobbies store. Not to shop, just to look around...
I purchased my HPI Racing Special Edition Savage X 4.6 Big Block Dodge Charger Nitro Monster Truck that afternoon.

And then my interest was hooked, like a fat pink salmon.
Also have a coupe of helicopters as well. See my SIG!
I have managed to keep a short reign on it...
Hopefully the coming Phantom 3 Pro' will keep me occupied for some time to come...
I expect the learning curve of all the parameters will take some time...
