Hi! I just recently got a RC-flyer magazine out of pure boredom but I does look cool to try out as a hobby. So I'd like to start a thread to discuss anything RC or if anyone is a pro at it that can answer some questions maybe?!
My 1st questions are: how are the laws on RC planes? could I just take it out in my backyard and fly around?
Are there any plans online where i can easily make a plane that's solid enough and not too expensive?
the softwares to play on your computer to simulate RC flying: are they accurate, not too expensive?
If you prefer to just direct me to an RC forum, go for it but I figured we could have a TFP thread about it.
