They're downright addictive, and if you're like me and like seeing things fly off jumps, this is like that...but it doesn't end until your battery gives out!

As the dust builds on my cars, the plane hangar gets larger and larger.

I can relate to you a little bit accept I started with one mini drone and now have 2 mini's and one 250 size. Very addicting however I wish i could say the same but is the exact opposite for me, I fly the 250 and something normally goes wrong and have to fix so I get to run my rc's and race in my spare time.

Yes very addicting and no turning back once you're on that path. Last time i was a 1/28 Kyosho Mini-z car racer slowly from 1/18, 1/10, 1/8, helicopter, planes, jets and higher...whoops i'm up in the clouds. Years later this is what my hangar looked like..57x planes, 35x drones and only few car/trucks:

flying is very addicting , it is another part of the world of RC that has so much to offer .
I love racing and just running some cars with friends "JUST FOR FUN" and not so serious .
I have been building kits since I was about 15 ...a true kit ,,,a box of wood , pre cut parts and other balsa and lite ply ..hardware and plans . takes days or weeks even months depending on size and how complex the subject is and what you have for time to build ,
ALMOST READY TO FLY AND BIND AND FLY PLANES are assembled not built and I have many ,,,some new in the box they are fun , easy to assemble and fly quite well.

I would not give up my planes for cars or the other way around its all cool , and in my blood .
currently I am flying -
E FLITE 1.2 METER SPITFIRE MK XIV WITH AS3X , FLAPS AND RETRACTS
E FLITE T 28 TROJAN WITH SAME FEATURES AS SPIT
EXTREME FLIGHT 60" SPAN EXTRA 300 6S 80 AMP ESC
GREAT PLANES CIRRUS
E FLITE RADIAN 2 METER MOTOR SAILPLANE
LEGACY AVIATION LITTLE FOOT ( LIKE A PIPER CUB ON STEROIDS)
CARL GOLDBERG TIGER 40 , A LOW WING PLANE WITH TRICYCLE LANDING GEAR AND MY LAST NITRO PLANE , BUILT FROM A KIT ,
OF ALL THE PLANES MENTIONED , THE T28 IS BY FAR THE BEST FOAM BIND AND FLY I HAVE EVER OWNED .
THE EXTREME FLIGHT 3D PLANES ARE BY FAR MY PERSONAL FAVORITE BUILT UP SUPER HIGH QUALITY ARF'S
