when i clicked on this thread, i thought it was about my favorite, the 337..
back in the old days, jet models were actually just ducted fans. when the first turbines appeared i met a guy at a show and asked him what was the top speed. he told me he was unable to build an airframe capable of withstanding full throttle. by now that may not be the case, but at the time the fastest he had gone was just under 200mph

| Those are great models but you better be very good at flying them. They look expensive, only experienced RC pilots should buy them. I wish that I could fly them but I don't have the time to devote to the hobby. |

Yeah, i get what you mean, CRJcapt. But i want one so i can strap a bag of poop on the pylon and fly it over some people at my school and drop the bag of poo onto some try-hard GaNgSa wannabe's head. Also, the sound would probably make their heads explode. _________________

so your gaoing ot buy a $20,000 Australian dolars so drop some dog poo on a bunch of posers?
i agree with the idea but there are alot cheaper ones and you would have to build a mechanism to drop the bag of poo onto the posers _________________

for poo flinging, i reccomend using elephant dung. have you ever seen one? they are, like, as big as a football!!!!
fling it with this:
if you can't afford something that big, you could use cow poop, and flig it with one of these:
then use one of these for a quick get-away:

man where do i begin...i had that r/c. me and three friends went and split the cost. we have all been r/cing for some years now and thought it was a good and cool investment.are field has a grass runway. so anyway we flew it for a few months on the grass field and it was hell then the marine base offered our club the use of there airport for flying on sundays,cool right actual runway for r/c's asphalt is not as forgiving as grass is all i have to say about that. just remember r/c's allways crash, even for the most senior pilots,before you buy it make sure you can handle if all that money goes bye bye in its maiden flight.......lol heres a vid for you...
