First was the R/C plane
Next was the R/C carrier
Then the first R/C takeoff from a R/C carrier
Now...to bring her home...  :rofl

I will not be sharing this with my wife.  Why make it easy for her?

Great video and every R/C'er I've known has had this fantasy or dreamed about going to The Byron Originals Fly-In...just once.  Ahhh.  Toys For Men Forever!

Yet something I noticed, he tried but did not hit the arresting wire as intended.  The goal would be to launch and land a non VTOL plane with the arresting wire.  :banana:  these guy are still awesome.  :rock

Agree. It's cool, but short of a trap. Make a trap on a moving CV with a non VTOL and I'll be truly impressed.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Sorry, but that's cheating. The video of the guys making conventional traps on a moving Helicarrier were FAR more impressive.
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.
