RC nitro airplane

[FishBulb]

Hey Guys,

Anyone know a good place to fly RC airplanes in SD. I got a nitro plane for graduation and finished assembling it a few months ago but have no idea where to fly it. I've found a lot of local clubs but they are all "electric only". Sucks to have this thing all built and not be able to fly it. And RC nuts out there?

I know there is a place by balboa park..its where one of the roads lead up to a canyon..its sorta near the bicycling track

I would check with the local hobby stores. I just looked up torrey pines but there are requirements.

[SDFISHMAN]

They fly them by seaworld.

There is an RC Plane park down by me. But like I said....Down here.

Yeah, I tried a few hobby shops (like the one new OG) but they are all for electric flyers. I know that seaworld and Torry Pines near me are for electrics or gliders only. I may just have to go out to the desert and play there. A little more planning and research and I DEFINITELY would gone electric.

The fly Nitro planes across the street from Chollas Lake. PM BigAir he would know where you can take it.

Thanks for the tip Justin.

he best place to fly nitro planes would be up at the 15 and the 76. Palomar RC clud has a really nice paved runway, covered tables, even have paved landing pads for heli's. Gotta be a mamber of the club, but I am sure you can get on as a visitor for a day or 2.

Ha, well i don't think i could teach you, even though i've never crashed (never flown either). I downloaded the free trial version of the G4 flight simulator and it's pretty sweet. I've logged a lot of hours on the simulator.

[Dakota]

how long does the trial version last for? And what are you using to fly? Radio w/ usb or something???

[FishBulb]

The trial version lasts indefinitely, however the features are heavily limited. Unfortunately, I'm using the keyboard to train. Lame, I know. But $200 for the full version is a little steep for me. That's the same cost as an electric trainer.
