OK something like this would set you back around 20K. If someone can find me a good C172 for that price I 'll buy three.

Seriously if your hooked on this hobby it is not hard to have that much tied up in it. Two or three planes, a couple of radios, a trailer and all your field and shop gear and you could easily have one of these for the same money.

Dude I could fly that thing! Seriously though take a look at a Pitts S1S. They are very small.

I think my next big plane will be an R/C conversion of a Pitts S1S. Make it a package so I could get it and fly it when I felt like it.

I wonder how well that one would go over? Prolly like a Led Zepplin here in the states huh?

Well they had full size radio control B-24's in WW2

As for price, has anyone looked at the jet scene lately, talk about expensive....

They still have R/C F4 phantoms they use as drones. Are you talking about that kinda R/C Jet? Yeah I guess they are expensive!

Roger,
One of these days I need to get off my wallet and give one of your engines a try.
