The whole thing is so stupid. I think full scale pilots and rc pilots a like would both like to see the plane fly. If the 400ft was a real issue than the faa would step in and make all the manufacturers build alts. in there radios. Seeing how no one has ever wrecked a full scale plane from an rc (even thought this is a one of a kind in its size) practicing your normal saftey precautions rc pilot and full scale pilot a like there should be and there wont be any issues. Can some one tell me what the % of recreational aircraft mid air collisons occur.

If we flew on what if we wouldnt fly at all.

The test flight will be next weekend if everything goes right. This weekend we have to do a couple of little things to finish her up. Maybe sunday we can take a little video of the engine running to get you guy's more excited. We will leave Wednesday and head to ILL. so we can check out the site and do some testing before Friday nite.
Thanks, John
