Fairly new to RC flying here, and looking to connect with other RC pilots. I've had a camera drone for a few years and it's great for aerial pics and videos, but doesn't really require a lot of flying skill, so I wanted to get into fixed wing aircraft. I started with a low cost 3-channel Volantex Ranger to see if I liked it, and I was hooked pretty fast :-)

I saved up my pennies and got my first serious RC plane, the Arrows Bigfoot 1300mm, and it's frikking awesome. I've only had it about a month but I love flying it, so much more challenging and rewarding than my DJI drone. I'm still working on getting my landings consistently smooth, but fortunately it's a very forgiving plane if you come in a little rough.

Heck yeah they are - I should probably change the name of the community to be all-inclusive. I've been eyeing up an RC sailboat that's on FB marketplace near me, but not in the budget quite yet.
