Right. When I got home from the event, I plopped the planes on the shelf, put the batteries on storage charge, and... oh, wait, that was it!
That said,

I do see the attraction however. Flying a stock airframe is one thing. But getting the whole package down, from building to setup to tuning to piloting, there's just a lot more race craft involved. Though, unlike Jason, I've so far resisted SRLs attempts to take the post-race control of his Q500s
In all seriousness, get yourself over to an event as soon as you're back in the air - Jason and I had a blast this weekend.
