RC Pilots?

Anyone fly Radio Controlled airplanes or helicopters besides me? I have a Blade CP Pro Helli and an Exceed-RC Pitts S2A Biplane that I LOVE to fly. I haven't flown the heli for a while now, but fly the Pitts at least 3 times a week weather permitting. My brother in law has a Cessna 182 RC Plane he flies. Nothing like flying together, and we are getting good enough to fly around in formation together. Talk about an adrenaline rush! Very cool hobby.

My dad does in St Louis. He's been going to that park at I-44 and Hwy 141 in Valley Park since I was small. I can't remember the name of it. Now I think he enjoys building them more than flying them. He's very good at it!

I got a blade CX2 that I modded a bit. It crashes pretty good.

Maybe you RC guys have seen this. I just received this in an e-mail and thought it was pretty neat...

I just got the Heli-Max Axe CP-L, but haven't had the chance to fly it yet.
I also have a couple of RC trucks, a Clodbuster and a Traxxas E-Maxx.
