Brings back memories of 99Sqn in Kabul....

By the look of the distance to go on the 'runway' and the TE flap setting on the model, looks to me like it's taking off!

Cheers, FD

Roll instability due to flight control software saturation?

I hear the Remote Control fraternity is soon to be delivered some bad news from CAA etc on the 'legality' of some of these heavyweight 'Aircraft'. When is a microlight not a microlight. When is a UAV not an aircraft etc....

Nice model though. I liked the model B-52 crash myself.
