    •    Sorry have to make another such thread cos i saw many of those remote control threads all expired . I own one cheap $29.90 r/c heli and its battery seemed to losing its storage power so recently saw a r/c styrofoam plane at carefour . Interest to get it but just wants to know how long can you fly it . Which also mean how long can the battery last before landing or crashing it . The $19.90 styrofoam plane with 2 small propellers one . Anyone bought it can give some comments here ? Does it fly straight or does it fly in a " wave " manner ? Anyone can post anystuff abt r/c stuff here too except for goodness sake no remote control for tv,air con etc please thank you .

      The remote controlled hovercrafts also can go over water. I think it's the best to play at swimming pool or the beach. icon_mrgreen.gif

      Which kind of refering to? Those selling at Toys"R"us i doubt can go over water. icon_lol.gif Otherwise, for some, swimming pool is okay, but not the beach. Hovercrafts cant tackle waves, both in real life and RC (of cause).

      I dunno..I think small waves at swimming pools shouldn't be a problem. icon_lol.gif

    •    Anyone knows of a r/c heli that can play for abt 30mins and can hover ? My budget is ard $200 . I know the $69.90 one at carefour can fly for 30mins but it can't hover on one spot cos of the weight distribution problem .
