Slot Car Hobby Shop

Question: help me choose toy slot cars?

does anyone have a recommendation for a slot car system. i want to spend less than 150.00. it will be used by a six year old so i would like one that keeps the cars on the track more. the hobby shop sells “carrera” and “AFX racing”. Are these any good?

Answer: AFX has been around for ages and decades ago I owned several AFX sets. AFX will be your best choice for the money you want to spend.

Hobby Aircraft

Question: Are ultralight/light sport flying clubs common?

I’m kinda interested in getting a pilots license, though it seems like its an expensive and intensive hobby. I’m interested in getting a light sport certificate since id probably just fly once in awhile for fun, but i dont really want to drop +25k down for a plane plus hanger fees, maintanence, etc. Are fliying clubs devoted to ultralights or light sport aircraft common? i could only find regular flying clubs in my area online but im wondering if there might be a shot at finding one if i called around to some smaller aiports in the area

Answer: I’d recommend checking with your local airport. Many times there are instructors who could answer your questions with a local context, as clubs tend to be somewhat unique to the area they are in.
When I got my private, I did not purchase a plane, because I wasn’t going to be flying enough hours to justify the expense.
For instance, a Cessna 150, flown 100 hours a year, will run you more than renting that same Cessna from an FBO. I found that the break even point for me was in the 200 to 225 hours a year area. So, I ended up renting a plane. Buying an airplane has so many other costs involved, such as insurance, annual, equipment updates, repairs, etc.
The LSA is a good license. Would you be open to having a local CFI go over the difference in the LSA and the Private certificates?
Good luck – it’s really great to be a pilot..

Rc Hobbies Plus

Question: Which is better Gas or Electric for Rc Cars FOr A Hobby?

I have about 300 dollars and i want to know which will last longer cost affective easy for a begginer and that i can use it alot with other people. Tell me what its power source is and what model it is so i can get it plus it has to be 310 or less please help me out!

Answer: I have both and here is my opinion. For someone starting out go with electric no doubt! The gas models (nitro) are a pain to mess with due to a more complex engine that you need to tune the carb with temperature and humidity changes, have to keep a very close eye on engine temp. with a temperature gun ( more$), clean and flush the motor with after run oil after using it due to nitro draws moisture very easily and nitro fuel costs around $25 a gallon from my local hobby shop. There is a ton of stuff you need to buy and service you need to do to the motor to keep it in top condition. Electric on the other hand all you need to start is a truck, batteries and a battery charger. After using it you plug in the battery and thats it. To run for hours you will need a couple of batterys or a quick charger. I bought my son a Traxxas Rustler and am very pleased with it for a starter truck. Traxxas or Team Associated has several models that are nice but the Traxxas is a good brand with cheap easy to find parts. I hope this helps some!

Hobby Gas Cars

Question: As a somewhat experienced electric R/C user, would a Nitro or Gas/oil car be my best bet if I want to expand?

I been working with electric R/C hobby cars for a while now, but want to try something else. Should I go with a nitro powered one or a gasoline/oil powered one?

Answer: Nitro is by far the most popular, you’ll find that it’s a lot easier to get parts for them.
