Just look at what these fellas gotta do:



...had to post here after seeing at the hdzero discord...

I had a “testors” string line plane kinda like those.. got old Fast!!! And got DIZZY fast..
Where is their “puke bucket”?

That brings back memories. Think I still have a couple lying around somewhere, too old to do that now though.

i would see one of you doing that with fpvfeed :-) that might be another sort of chellenge for coordination xD

THAT would be a challenge
Fpv goggles on while holding the control handle AND spinning in circles. Think I'll tap out on that. Be interesting vision though.

I had a couple of the Cox planes when I was a kid. Pretty sure I spent more time trying to get them started than actually flying.

.. an how many “glow plugs” did u destroy?
I wonder how many kids now experienced these first hand?

Yes! ...those .049 engines:

...never forget that smell and frustration in getting them going.
