Wing span is 480 Cm with a chord of 39 cm clark-Y. The engine is 6 hp Zenoah. Kindly reqeusted to comment on the aircraft weight to engine power ratio prior to the first flight. Your immediate reply is highly appreciated. Dear Sir,

Too expensive to bring back, keep flying, and we can get BETTER recon and intelligence from cheaper, more reliable systems that won't put a pilot in harm's way. They tried to bring them back ONE back as a "quick reaction" plane, but it couldn't pass the budget restraints, never mind the "maintenance" and spare parts that are already consumed and no longer being made. Long live the memory! An awesome asset that has made it's mark on history. Frankie… they really ARE OUT OF COMMISSION!

I actually have a one of a kind painting of it at home. I know they say this plane isn't in comission anymore, but I wonder? Anyhow, it's a fun model kit to have. Takes a while to put together because of all the stickers and stripes on the aircraft, but it's worth it when you get it together! I love this plane.

Aside from R/C combat, mid-air collisions not at all common, even during aerobatic team routines like these guys were doing.

But it is a fact that it's bound to happen to even the best of us... but man... that doesn't make it any easier to watch lol. eeeeek, it certainly is a little cringe-worthy.

Machine can cut 8ft x 18ft x 3ft. Large wing sections can be cut all in one piece. Machine is paid for so I can provide very best pricing. Can cut what ever your computer can create. Can provide CAD surface geometry if needed. Please let me know if anyone would be interested in this service.

Each engine must be individually controlled as they don't have tachometers to regulate thrust automatically. One controls the plane, the other control the engines.

Is it because a crash is to high risk for 1? :-) why do you need 2 pilots? Is it because a crash is to high risk for 1? :-)
