On our last vacation, we've had a bit of rain but it's mostly dry where I am. Perfect weather for some backyard bashing or some sporting activities (with RCs of course). For those who don't know what is RC cars, then I must pity you all because that's the current generation of cars to have all the fun with very little expense. These are Scale model cars, trucks, and other vehicles that are controlled by a hand-held controller that sends radio signals to the vehicle are Radio Controlled Vehicles. In addition to radio controlled, RC vehicles can be remote controlled or infrared. You can explore the many variations there are to the world of radio controlled vehicles. Select which route you wish to take -- toy, hobby, electric, nitro, or gas. From planes, boats, cars, and trucks to military and alien spacecraft, there are many types of RC vehicles from which to choose. But before you drive, fly, or put an RC in the water you need to understand the basics of radio systems, batteries, and getting an RC started. Then you'll need to learn how to drive an RC, fly a plane or helicopter, and do it safely. For those of you in the UK, check out the website of rc cars uk and get yourself one now, if you have RC'ing inside you!
Unfortunately I won't be doing any flying. The wind has been almost non-stop and strong. But if you've got a pool, your RC games can take to the water.
What RC games are you creating to take advantage of good or bad weather? Tell us about 'em.
