Cool toy to play with


Recommended Posts

I used to fly! I used the Real Flight simulator. I could take off, do snap rolls, barrel roles, hover above the ground nose up (I can't remember the name!) do a harrier, but never land...

 

 

 

I can never land!!!!

 

 

 

It's been about 6 years since I've flown. I used to fly real life with a buddy box, but flying a heli??? Hell. No. I did buy Eric a Raptor can't remember what for Christmas one year. He opened it and saw it was the one he'd always wanted and almost cried... :(

I think the reason Boeing hasn't designed a plane like this one is because it would be dangerous to keep it up longer than four hours.

 

Can they get it up in the freezing Norwegian winters or does it shrink?

No shrinkage......unless it lands in the Norwegian water. Costanza Airlines can attest to that.

I have a Raptor 50. Heli's have gotten a lot easier to fly over the years and planes have gotten a lot cheaper. I think anyone could learn to fly today without too much difficulty. You should be able to land if you can do all of that. Get yourself a cheap foamy trainer and go flying.

 

A lot of the fun of flying is building the plane. The flying penis is an example of that. Here's another:

And here I thought the flying lawnmower was the pinnacle of RC technology. :P

Who the hell comes up with these things?
