Yep, got a second-hand giant big stick with a converted royobi weed whacker engine. Turning a master airscrew prop, atlas servos, 27 mhz pro-line radio, not sure what mode. You want to test fly it for me Larry?

Master Airscrew. Hmmm. Might work better with one of the old Top Flight white nylon props.

We get rocket or moarter attacks at least once every two weeks.(usually more) This one(21Jun09) made the news because several folks died. Acually, we got really lucky with this one.... 35% of the time, they don't explode, thanks to old unreliable Soviet era ammo. Besides, they aren't accurate at all....

Alot of times those "unaccurate" ones are the ones that hit in the worst spots.
