And they say LW pilots aren't superior.

We use METAL models for our training.

Sheehs.

I had one of those when I was a kid! They were marketed and sold in the mid 70's.  I still have some of the parts.   The really cool thing was that the "carrier" also had a rubber band powered catapult too.  The launch shuttle traveled in a sloted plastic carrier deck with the rubber bands hidden underneath.  The landing area was a printed runway on a 5' long piece of folding cardboard.  I outfitted the runway with cross deck pendants and attached a hoork to the tail of the airplane.  I was able to complete a whole launch/recovery evolution in a matter of seconds  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)  Was a LOT of fun!
