Kevin Fairgrieve Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Mainly warbirds. 1/4 scale, with the odd other plane. Mainly my Magician after that. kev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Saliba Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I voted for "Average Aerobatics" but I also like High Performance and Warbirds plus a bit of everything else. My favorite models are the Capiche 140, Ripmax Bullet and Ripmax Acro Wot plus the BH Bird Dog, which is fun to fly. I also like my Wot 4 fleet, these I consider as fun flys.

Ady Hayward Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Variety is the spice of life. I fly whichever plane is best suited for the day and mood. in most cases tho it has to be scale. Ady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Jenkins Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'm in the 1% as I fly F3A. Once you've flown a 2 mtr F3A nothing else comes close to the flying experience. I do enjoy flying my trusty Wot 4 which has become even more fun after fitting a pipe to my Irvine 53. I do have some scale aircraft but will wait for the better weather to fly them. You can fly 2 m models in almost any weather but I draw the line when the wind exceeds 20 mph constant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwyn Gee Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 This poll should really have been multiple choice. I finally went for Warbitrds as I have more of this category in my hanger but I have also got average club earobats and an EDF that scares the life out of me, so I will give anything a bash. Hopefully not literally. Also have an EP glider and want to get out slope soaring again with my Wildthing. Alwyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Murphy Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 A great poll but i think that had it been worded differently there may have been a more definate answer , ie out of all the models you own which one is the tattiest(flown the most) because although i consider myself a fairly good pilot flying anything from 3 channel vintage to large 3d types its got to be my knackered old tutor 40 that i always take every week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouncebounce crunch Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Fixed wing, and lately (name brand) foam parkflyers are my convenient companions, my, T28 and Radian. Although not the greatest they still give pleasure if you set a "flight goal/ routine to try and master before takeoff. If my wife stretched her arms and i could launch her that would do too at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greybeard Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I'm in the "other" as I fly whatever is not awaiting repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin McIntosh Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I would have expected a multiple choice as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Plains Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Heh, wel as I'm in training, there was only one possible vote for me. But my future aim will be gliders. That silent flight and possibility of interaction with our feathered friends is what has brought me here in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverB Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Well, the plane I flew most last year was my SebArt Sebach 30 (wonderful machine!) and I would count that as a high-performance aerobat. But in my hangar there are a lot of different things, a Radian Pro, one petrol powered Edge, a few aircombat planes. Then in the building room there is a half finished Jitterbug, a Kyosho Focke Wulf and a (not started) TopFlite P47. And of course this winter I've been flying quite a lot indoors which means depron and EPP. So, some variation, but the Sebach is my favourite (at the moment I might add, who knows what's going on in the future ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbycat Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I think my most widely flown plane was my Wot 4. I do like my 1/4 scale Taylorcraft. Just gone from a 26cc petrol to a 35. That should give it a bit more oomph!! It will depend on the weather or the amount of time I have as to which model/s I take. If it's a bit iffy or not much time it'll be the Wot 4 or my silly Delta. If I'm out for the day and the weather is nice then my scale stuff gets a good airing, especially my Tiger Moth. Love the scale aeros with this one.

Biggles' Elder Brother - Moderator Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Well I suppose something scalish that can handle some aerobatics and has a bit of history behind it! So a scale aerobatic warbird! Seriously - yes I mainly like scale - but I class Extras, Yaks and Sbachs as "scale"! So my Goldwing SBach, my Extreme flight Extra, my 1/5th Cub, my little Spit - or yes always my PZ Extra! But they're all kind of scale - ish,.... passing at 40mph 50 yards away!

Steve Holland Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Most of my flying is done with an electric Wot4 foam E. We fly them club nights with lights on and have been known to do silly things with them! This answer to the question asked will give a false slant to the poll as I fly a very wide spectrum of models with no one type taking preference. I am known for flying larger petrol powered models though. What ever I fly it is only for fun and I'm not a fan of competitions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinstar Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 interesting - Presently 10% of votes are gliders.. yet unless im mistaken, far less than 10% of RCME magazine plans are gliders. Perhaps something the mag might want to consider ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel sheffield Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 D.L.G. discus launch gliders are by far my favourite, I fly powered gliders next, and then warbirds and then paturn and then 3d, speed is fun but only really for a few minutes and then for me it gets boring. I can fly warbirds and 3 d etc for 1/2 hour or so then get bored, powered glider I can stant for 1 to 2 hours at most, but DLG I can and have frequently done 4 hours strieght, 1 and 1/2 hours goes by in a flash.

riverlandgirl. Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Low, slow and close is my cup of tea. Either i.c ,slope or electric is just fine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin McIntosh Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Interesting that only 4% said 3D since there seems to be a huge selection on offer out there, each much better than the rest and the subject of many press reviews to the point of boredom. Not my cup of tea either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_B Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Despite a very varied selection in my hangar, it's always one of my three Funjets that is loaded into the car first. Sometimes the cheaper, simple models provide the most fun and get flown the most, hence I voted 'Other'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
