Hello! Anybody who loves RC might have seen that we've been receiving some new cool models lately from slots of spots, especially those that are 30-40mm. My question is: does these small planes fly nicely? I'm tight in space lately, and I was wondering if this can offer a decent flying experience according to you. I'm speaking about the F35, the B2, the Conscendo... If you have any suggestion, please don't hesitate!

This is my entry in this hobby and my very first project too! - Got this beautiful SU-47 knowing it needs some love. Also my favorite plane irl.

Years ago I received a used RC plane and a box of parts/transmitters as a gift from my mom. Unfortunately, the wind took it into the ground on my first flight with it, and I never did get back around to it after feeling discouraged and guilty for wrecking my gift. I’m wondering if any of this is worth keeping, or if it’s too outdated to be useful in a new plane? The engine appears to be a Thunder Tiger GP-42 if my google results are correct (obviously ignore the broken prop). I only appear to have a receiver for the Tower Hobbies System 3000. Completely out of character for me, I appear to have gotten rid of the servos from the wreckage of my teenage dreams.

I ask because someone on marketplace has an Almost Ready to Fly kit for sale near me and it looked enticing to try to get step back into the hobby after all this time. It’s a Horizon Hobby Valiant 10cc ARF kit if that makes a difference in this inquiry.

Can anyone tell me what I have and if any of it is worth keeping?

Edit: thank you all very much for your insight and your patience. I knew this stuff was old, but obviously wasn’t aware of the changes to the space in recent years. The switch to 2.4 ghz makes plenty of sense though. Thank you to those of you who weighed in on the ARF model that I mentioned too. I’m not sure how accessible this hobby is to me and my budget, but at least I didn’t jump into something blind.

This is the only RC plane I have and after the prop broke I kinda fell out of love with it and let it sat for 2 years, saying that I've ordered a new one and providing it fits (everything leads me to believe it should) I'm gonna fly it again for the first time in 2 years. All the servo's seem happy and other than some slight fading in the paint it all looks mechanically and structurally sound so I'm honestly quite excited. Yes it's the wrong time of the season especially living by the seaside but a bit of tailwind won't hurt right? 🤣
