Estes yellow/purple jet with Air Hogs Guts

Estes has nice airframes, but most of their planes do not fly without lots of help. My yellow/purple jet's motor went out of synch and started turning left. Bending the rudder helped but had a bad side effect..when throttle is off, it turns to the right....

I gave up and ripped out an old commissioned air hogs aero ace guts and put it in the jet and WOW,...it flies awesome.

I love the squiqqly sidewalk.

Thanks. This is the only thing fortunate thing in foreclosureville (aka stockon, ca.) where they've stopped building and the field is wide open and the streets are closed off to traffic...makes a perfect landing strip. Best thing is no one is flying there, but myself and a couple of other flying buddies.

i dont know why but when i fly rc...i get to protective and try to land it amediatly =( have any tips? i have a hobby zone firebird comander 2 and its have the size of me o.0

[rcAllDayLong]

maybe get a simulator first and practice on that or get with an experience rc pilot and do a buddy box.

Or get one of them unbreakable air hogs and fly it till you get the hang of it.

good luck!

any idea where i can get replacement propellers for airhog f18 hornet plane?

[rcAllDayLong]

sorry, I've never actually seen these on sale separately. At least for other air hogs plane, they include extras, so maybe buy another different plane and use the extras...Most of the props are the same anyways.

Samething here too... both where I currently live and used to live. The economy has stopped a lot of projects, but at least we have some flying sites out of this all!

[chickenpoper]

I got this same thing from Toysrus. Its called Estes Sky Cruisers Radio Control Micro Airplane. It broke easily at first because it was a manufacturing defect, they put the propellers on the wrong way.. So we fixed that, then we told the company to give us a new one cause it was there fault so we got a new one and now we have two =)
