That plane is huge. Helicopters look cool. I think subs would only really be any fun if you were down there with them.

I think I'd rather start off with something a little more down to earth.

I have been thinking about getting into RC, but I feel kind of like when I started with Airsoft. I just got something that looked alright, without knowing what I was doing and quickly realized what I should have bought.

I don't know if ONLY, but it would most definitely up the fun factor.

Airsoft would be a poor comparison to RC, IMO. I did the whole airsoft gig in high school. Really was a waste of cash, I think. With RC, there's better established online community and even market. There's also lots of older guys in the hobby that are willing to be more grounded in handing out advice on where to start out. From what I've read, they usually recommend the generic Tyco stuff from toy stores to start out with.

The Parrot AR.Drone looks cool, on the topic of rotorcraft:

It'd be cooler if you didn't need some Apple pile of shit.

Oh, I wasn't really comparing RC and Airsoft as hobbies, but more the situation I'm in now and the feeling I have before starting the hobby. I'm interested but don't really know where to start looking. Obviously, I should start by googling, but you know, LAZY.

But I'll probably buy something cheap, just to trash around first.

Ahhh, ok I see. My mistake then.

When it comes to starting, I saw a decent thread on how to start with RC cars. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9850642/anchors_9853295/mpage_1/key_/anchor/tm.htm#9853295

Basically, you'll want to start out with a low cost car, have you kicks with it and see where to go from there. After you've come to the conclusion you really wanna go further, then sky's the limit. You're pretty much open to whatever might catch your eye or strike your fancy.

Some pretty dece resources. I'm thinking of putting down a few hundred to build one of these:
USS Albacore Submarine

I'm told the USS Albacore is the best starter model.

Tyco Typhoon II and Tyco Bandit Commercial
I had one of these Typhoons. It was fucking sweet. Alas, the dry winter was hell on the rubber skirt and it cracked.

And, how about a dose of "Holy shit, that's sweet"

RC Helicopter VS Wasps

I just got myself a Syma S107. http://syma107.com/

But I already have a problem. The top blades aren't spinning properly. I'm guessing it's the main shaft, because when I turn it on, and give it throttle, all the gears work, but when I turn it off and rotate the blades manually the lower blade gears move but the top ones don't.

Actually, it was a quick fix. When I tried to lightly pull out the inner shaft the top just slipped off, like it was 2 different pieces, when it's sold as one piece, so I super glued it and now it works fine. Look at this little beauty fly.

After seeing a scratchbuilt remote control hovercraft in a hobby magazine in a library one day, I have decided that one of my life goals is to build a working scale model of a Svantovit IFV. In scale with one of those 28mm elemental models preferably.
