Incredible toy. This retired engineer apparently built this scale RC from scratch.

Very cool. Takes a lot of practice to fly these things. I've been tempted to buy a "newbie" plane.

I have an electric one and I can't remember how many time I crashed it. As soon as I think that I have it under controi......bang! It's like chewing gum, scratching your butt, tapping your head, singing Oh Canada and flying it......all at the same time! |

I think I posted something similar a few months back, maybe even a year ago, about a scale model of a C-5 Galaxy. This takes a lot of talent and patience.
Cheers.

The image of politicians diving under tables..... ;D They'd probably form a committee to see how ecomonically feasible it would be to purchace a fleet of models for our airforce ;D The only word that comes to mind when I watch these vids is 'cool.' Cheers. |

Happy bird hunting! www.rc-airplane-world.com/electric-rc-airplanes.htmlThanks, I look at those every time I visit the hobby store. I'm kind of partial to the old wwii warbirds. Demolish it? That's what the anti crash tech is for isn't it?  Crazy. My bro-in-law got a heli a few months ago. Last I heard he was getting not bad at making it hover a couple feet above the ground. Got a ways to go I think. |
