Anyone into R/C planes? Want to start and need direction....

[mmntech]

I started just after 2.4 ghz came along and so never had to put up with FM, though I have an FM helicopter. I've not flown in a few years. I may get back to it, as I really enjoyed not only it but also building, and scratch built a few pretty good planes. Aerial photography was cool and I thought earlier this year of building a quad copter for it. Ultimately I'd like one that can be auto-piloted with GPS way points but apparently it's still more expensive to do that than I want to get into. But, hey if the gov is doing it I want to do it to my neighbors, too.

I was an early adopter of 2.4ghz. The Spektrum DX7 was (still is) a great radio. I use it for my sail boat.

I've thought about getting into helis though between the cars and computers, it's too much.
