I always thought it would be awesome to somehow build a miniaturized 18-cylinder radial engine to power one of those.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

 i've laughed when i've crashed some of my own r/c's. one in particular, was when the wings folded on my ugly stick just as i was entering a snap roll.

 when that liberator went in though......there wasn't much funny about that. the dude had a lot of time and money invested.

 what caught me about that one, is that it kinda looked real the way it just rolled over like that.........

I hate it when you fold the wings on your rc plane, it always seems like the wings are clapping together to applaud your effort all the way to the ground :(  I folded the wings on my stagger wing doing an elongated outside loop. It takes real talent to fold up two sets of wings at the same time.
The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

when mine folded, the one that came out, yanked on the rx, and moved it enough that it pulled the battery connector out. she did a very nice sapp dive right into the mud....... :D

 i honestly still laugh at that one when i think about it.

I thought it was sad. I can only imagine the amount of time, and effort that went into building something so complex.

CAP1 I thought it look real too.

I was rolling on the ground laughing when I had my mid-air collision. My hobbico superstar .60 collided with a twist .40 who was showing off

i used to use a twist for combat. had a midair with a dood that shouldn't have still been in the frey, as he had already lost his streamer. it didn't matter.......we all still laughed about that one....but we'e talking cheap planes here.

I can see how it would be different when you crash a 3,000 dollar plane versus a $200 trainer.

My plane wasn't a total loss - I was able to fix the wing and had it back flying the next weekend

His planes tail was severed when he cut infront of me. He saved the engine and most of the servos so he just lost the airframe

Beautiful. 

Question... is there a reason why they use a 2 blade prop vs. a more accurate 3 or 4 bladed prop?  They put so much effort in all the details, but the 2 blade prop kinda takes away from it.

Just curious-

You can't see how many blades it has when it's flying.
