Happy Birthday, baby

There was a lot more to you than most people know.

[Masherbrum]

Agreed.

yup...

Did you know she was a Rosie the Riveter (sort of) before she became a model? She made drones for target practice and thats where she met the guy who told her to try out for modeling.

We have one of the drones she might have possibly made, but they didnt put serial numbers on them, so we cant proove she actually worked on ours.

Such a thing could never fly  Unless you just put a ton of power to it. Looks like gliding characteristics would be anything short of a joke, but hey what do I know.

They never really were intended to fly, maybe blow up, but primarily - to fall out of it.

Meh ... Was never into her. Way too much of the 'cutie cutie baby baby' attitude, plus she had ' I m going to be fat' fingers. Don't hate, just what I think.

it flew, it was remote controlled too. Its pretty light though. Its pretty much just a thin sheet metal shell with a little internal support. plus that engine is a 4 cylinder engine.

Thats what it looked like after being restored. We got it all shot up. When that happened in RW, they just re-skinned it and flew it again.

Again, spoken from the bottom of an empty clue bag. . Might be a good idea to do some googling......

May I add the fact that the wings are a little short, what makes it fly is that huge engine, not sayings its crap i said Flying Characteristics were a joke, I never doubted its flying ability.

So, you or someone you know has actual experience flying one? In other words, you have verifiable knowledge of it's flight characteristics vs making an off hand comment based on a picture?

Taking a good look at it can make a person assume, you don't need insult a person who's wrong, makes you look like a troll. Just saying.

Those things flew and were flown every where they had a gunnery training area.

[Babalonian]

It's a circa-1940s flying target drone used for circa-1940s weapons training, a single component to combat training and not for practicing maneuvers with.  It didn't need any other characteristics other than to be able to fit under the wing/fueselage of the towing plane that took it up, fly straight and level for X-amount of time when released, and fall out of the sky when it got shot.
