30 years ago in Huntsville Ala. my bud was in an RC club. They had a
contest class called "scale" where you flew anything but an airplane,
and it had to be scale... I saw a lawnmower just like this, flew exactly
like it too. Very well could be the same plane...

I think I've seen that thing fly. That looks like the Marymoor Park R/C
Field.

Where's that? A new guy down the block is into RC. Has some gorgeous airplanes - the biggest with
about a 6' wingspan, but can't find a place around DC that allows flying. Even the military bases
have pretty much closed it down.

I wouldn't invest in Redmond real-estate for the next 15 years.

Can you take more than one child with you when you fly on one of those
planes?

Down here in SWFL we've actually got an R/C "Air Park" up on the north
end of town. They fly all sorts of stuff there including jets.

They used to be very common at military bases, but not so much anymore.
