• I wish I could afford the really good RC aircraft. Not even, like, modern quadcooter drones, but a nice gas powered replica of a plane.

    Or maybe just have a gnarly sim center for space and flight sims. Like one of those big gyroscopes with your chair and all the controls in it, and the controls are like real aircraft shit.

      You can get some pretty cheap (around $200) styrofoam models. Most expensive part is the remote control itself, if you want a good one at least.

      I have a A-10, F-15 and F-16. Though, the A-10 has seen better day (survived quite a few crashes).

      Depends on your budget, but… discovery flight lesson doesn’t cost a whole lot for an actual aircraft. I live in a somewhat expensive region, and it’s around 100 USD equivalent for an hour.

      And if you know someone with a 3D printer, an RC aircraft can be built relatively cheaply (working on this myself, but I already had the radio and receiver)
