Looks good TUK!

These ones didn't load properly last night, but I still wanted to post them.  That Electra II was pretty decent-sized.

Those guys have thousands and thousands of $'s in those birds. The are very scale and BIG!.  My favorite is The Japanese Kate or B5n. Very nice..

... and 170-180 is pretty darn fast for a R/C plane!

Yup, it is.  

I had a slope glider that I flew while I went to school in Montana that was probably flying around that speed at times.  I didn't know what dynamic soaring was at the time, but that's basically what we were doing.

They said they had a mid-air between two jets last year.  $20k worth of airplane(s) fit into one garbage bag.

They had a beautiful corsair in a trailer, that was wrecked and only fit for parts-salvage.

Maybe because there is no such thing as a Lockheed 247? there is a Boeing 247 and a Lockheed electra 10, but it appears to be neither. In reality it is a Beechcraft 18, but since its military, that would make it a C-45.

Dammit! I got the names mixed up. Oh well. Thanks for correcting me

Look closely at the Lockheed Model 247 in the first pic... something is amiss there....I don't think it was supposed to be!

Are you referring to the  Beech 18 with the missing wing?
