I bet that was heartbreaking - what a fantastic model.

(I love how they put the word 'Fatal' in the title, presumably to attract Facebook sickos :lol: )

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
My father had for 20+ years an RC model shop in the back of his piano store. I had no idea they had advanced to jets and things that big.

That's the risk we take in this hobby. That thing probably cost about $20k or more to build. Cost worries aside, I think I would get bored with a jet. Helicopters are exponentially less expensive and provide a better adrenalin rush.

I am thinking about building a fixed wing aircraft. It will most likely be made from foam and be capable of 3D flight. I will probably build a warbird too. Maybe a P51 Mustang or Corsair or something similar. Single engine, electric, or possibly Nitromethane.

But then I will be labeled a "planker". Not sure I want to go there. :D

You've been called worse and you are still here. Don't worry about it.

If you're a planker, and I'm a plonker, does that make us related?..... :D

I'm the air boss for our flight school this weekend at the annual flight show - although nobody from our school will be in the air during the show. In this case air boss just means I get to do the grunt work and buy the staff pizza for lunch.

We have had more RC planes added to the show over the last few years. They are getting pretty advanced.

And although I haven't piloted one yet I just got my FAA Remote Pilot certificate. Now one of these days I'll have to actually pilot one.

I find that very strange.

Experienced UAV pilots with no full scale training or license, are prohibited from using their abilities simply because they do not have a "real" pilot's license.

Current full scale pilots, such as yourself, with zero training, or experience flying UAVs, get licensed to fly something they have never even tried to fly.

What's wrong with this picture?

The certificate allows commercial operations - getting paid. Anyone can fly for fun without the certificate.

I think the idea is that the UAVs now have to abide by FAA defined National Airspace and current pilots are trained in using this airspace.

You do have to pass a written test to get the certificate and a lot of it has to do with understanding airspace.

I thought I needed a pilots license? That's how I read it.
