Airshow when you dont have an airshow.
Quite a few "warbird" types there.

But i think people still prefer 1:1 scale.

Do you think MAYBE 'Red TAILS' air combat scenes might had looked better done with R/C instead of the dancing digits of CGI? I'll wager a fleet of models, flown a few at a time and combined would have looked better.

Looks like R/C guys need some landing practice!

I smiled through the whole thing. Laughed when the Me 323 Gigante lumbered by. And the F-117...the thing is unstable without all the computers. Amazing that this guy got it to fly.

Thanks for the link.

Mudge the entertained

ps...I'm sure the cost of some of those a/c would pay off the mortgage on my house.

I fly both RC and full size tailwheel airplanes. What saw were people trying to land too slowly. The perspective and feel of a model is totally different from a real a/c. What works for me with a model is a steep approach with throttle closed, flare very close to the ground without attempting a full stall landing. You fly the model all the way to a dead stop. There were some great models there, enjoyed watching this a great deal.

Very impressive, everything from an A10 Warthog to a Messerschmitt Gigant
