I did RC helicopters for awhile god what a huge learning curve but they had small ones so it was easy in smaller areas. but so much crashing my hands are not really precise and I would often lose orientation. but it was a blast flying backward and upside down. but it was too much money and I had to go farther to fly and that was a lot of wasted time.

Yeah, RC flying is a great hobby as long as you don't run afoul of some FAA regulation. If caught violating one, the fines can be steep. I live so close to an airport, I feel like I have to file a flight plan when jumping off my deck into the pool.

Ive still got a vintage Tamiya buggy in the loft, keep meaning to battery it up.
Just looked for an image and found one for 350 quid on ebay, thats the exact one.

There is a lot of less than 250 gr. quality planes and helicopters that are not FAA regulated and could be flown almost anywhere.Yeah, RC flying is a great hobby as long as you don't run afoul of some FAA regulation.

Perhaps in Canada, but here in the US, <250gr UAV's don't have to be registered with the FAA but are still regulated.
