Here’s a run down of the top featured planes on flitetest.com in 2018.
The act of creation and experimentation is a huge part of the RC hobby. It’s found right at the very heart of Flite Test… just check out some of the wacky things that we’ve made fly! We’re continuously inspired to create our own inventions by the talented folks in our community, so we thought it might be a good idea to highlight some of the best RC airplane builds that we saw last year!
