Hello Everyone!
First of all, amazing job with the community
, i am thrilled to join the Indian RC family.
I always was amazed by RC toys, but i never thought i would find so many RC hobbyists in India, so glad i did. Now that i have, i am not completely sure about which area to go for.
Let's talk about engines first, i am 99% sure i want to go for nitro engine, maybe petrol later on. I would love to work on my toy, and am eager to learn about maintainence, tuning etc. Not to mention, the speed, the smell and the noise.
However i am not sure whether i should go with planes or cars, i love them both equally. And I am not really worried about training with flying or the patience i would need initially.
Neither i am worried about the time and resources i will have to divert to my hobby, infact that is the point.
But I would really want to go with the majority, I am located in New Delhi, I dont wanna drive/fly alone, also i live in south delhi, which is really congested. So we dont have a lot of open space for either hobby, I also dont like to gather crowd's attention(having a nitro engine here isnt gonna help either). So that means i would probably be flying/driving with private clubs.
How often do you guys fly/drive your toys? How do you practice and improve your RCing skills? I guess if i go with the nitro powered car, i wont be able to take it for a spin on, lets say, my roof due to noise? And i should forget planes unless i have access to a huge field, that is why i am more inclined towards cars, though eventually i might get into planes as well.
I believe, and i may be wrong, that planes will require larger fields and cars can probably be run in relatively smaller areas?
So lets say i go ahead and buy a new car, where will i be able to test it?
Maybe eventually we could get a racing circuit built somewhere, and do laps, and races, drifting etc, in smaller area?
So in all this rambling, i guess my question is, how do you get your fix of RCing? Where do you go, how frequently?
