some guy
i love going down to the track or the hobby shop and looking at all the stuff ill never get, but taking joys in showing a kid what i have and explain how hell never have it. No but seriously what your set up.
I have a an HPI RS4 1/10 on-road electric drifter thats fun to play with inside. i have the old school barracuda body (dont like ricers), all wheel drive setup 50/50.
I also have the HPI Hellfire which is my basher i just take that thing and blow it to peice's
and the other thing which is addicting are those little XMODS i actually have 9, 2 06 mustangs, 1 firebird, 2 lifted f-150's, 2 camaros modded to be on the EVO chassis, a G35, and EVO. All the cars have all radioshack mods, bearings, lights, engine, suspension, all wheel drive, rims, tires, drifting kit, wild body, and lithium batteries. I got a nice setup but it my hobbies too, i got a track for in my garage. Anyone else on here got a savage or anything?

I have built from the ground up a fully Radio Controlled Ship as well as a fully Radio Controlled ( flying saucer ) with hover manoeuvrability. For the ship... it took me a little over 16 mths and for the flying saucer it took me well past 2 years to build it.

How customizable are nitro/gas powered r.c. planes?

I'm purchasing one & am very excited to finally have a hobby of my own. Two weeks ago my cousin taught me how to fly one using his plane (an 81inch J-3 Piper Cub [nitro/gas powered]),a\ after a week of browsing I've decided to buy a Zlin Z-50 70inch also nitro/gas powered...

...I think it's a good fit for me however I am very curious as to how much I will be able to really make it my own by customizing it. Also if there are any r.c. plane enthusiasts reading this, if you've any tips, or info, anything really that you would like to share i would very much appreciate it.
The link does show a 50inch w/s, however I am buying a 70inch, I basically just googled the model itself & added it as an example.

Infinitely customizable.
I know people that design and build custom rc planes (gliders mostly - but with small electric motors for gaining altitude) with sensors installed on them to check radiation levels, etc. in hazardous or remote areas.
I started off building planes when I was about 16 - one of my friends had a kit for a 'Super Chipmunk' (rich kid, mommy and daddy bought him anything he wanted, he started assembling it but got bored and so it was just sitting on a shelf). It was a pretty serious model - all wood, and with shrink-wrap style covering. It had a 6' wingspan.
I had his four-channel radio, receiver, and servos - installed everything, but then he didn't want to come up off the engine (I think it was a .60) because he was worried about it getting damaged if the plane crashed (apparently preferring to leave it sitting on a shelf unused). I finally talked him out of it, and flew the living crap out of that plane - never crashed it (although it did come down hard a few times - requiring minor fixes).
Me and one of my other friends that had helped me with the assembly (we were big RC car fans too) decided it was time to change it up a bit. We found, bought, and built a tunnel hull boat kit that used the same engine and prop from the plane. It was freaking awesome - as much fun as the plane.
I pictured it banking on turns like a real boat - but instead it turned on a dime. Almost perfect 90 degree turns - letting you zigzag the thing through the water.
I've been out of RC stuff for a while - a bunch of my friends got into helicopters, but they are difficult to fly (especially the ones with collective pitch) and expensive to crash. One of the guys I work with dumps a ton of cash into building, upgrading, destroying, and then replacing his helis.
I might have to build a plane again sometime - they make some amazing jets and other stuff, but I'd probably go old-school prop plane - like a Japanese Zero or a P-51 Mustang.
Good luck - and have fun!!!
