    the closest I come is that another hobby of mine is RC airplanes. I was out flying this morning and took a video by strapping an old cell phone to the bottom of my plane this morning. It was not too bad although you don't have much to look at since I am flying over a dirt parking lot. IT is a fun hobby as every plane fly's completely different and even though it sucks to crash, you get to walk away....

    $280 for the F4U, Spitfire is not as powerful from parkzone.

    Neither airplane is one to learn with.

    Yes. I removed the gear and use the skids for grass landings.
    The wheels do not work well is grass.

    Agreed. You could get a mothballed 707, strip it out, and do a barrel roll like the first one!

    Of course that would scare the pantene out of MY HAIR
