Default Hi Ya'll

Greetings from Midlothian, TX.

My giant scale AC is a 1951 Ryan Navion....but it's 100% scale and I fly it from the inside

I'm just getting back into a liitle bit of RC, but am very impressed with some of the giant scale building and flying I seen here.

Maybe once I get better with a couple of small RC electrics I fly, I'll venture into some of this bigger stuff!

Keep the shiney side off the ground

Earle Andrews

Earle,

You can even sneak a few photos of your 100% scale birdy on the thread if you like. Being an airplane nut I enjoy seeing anything AC related. Plus I'm not sure I have ever seen the bird you are flying.

Great site here, tons of help and a zillion great videos and photos.

We enjoy having guys like you here so feel free to join in anytime you like.

Kiwi

Default Ryan Navion Super 260 pics

OK...here's 2 shots of our bird. This Navion has been in our family since new (3 generations now). Award winner at Oshkosh in '92. A great airplane to fly. Would love to see a giant scale RC version of this one

Hey Earle,

It's great to have you here!!

I tell you what, if you find a 30% scale of this bird, I'll sell my 30% Cessna 152 and buy it. Shoot, I'll even let you fly it, on the buddy box of course

Like the guys said, this place has it all, join in on the fun!!

Welcome to the Giants!!!
