Hey “dude” I never posted anything to you...go back to your play pen...

I think he meant that comment for me.

Oh well, sometimes we all need a little humility to remind ourselves how flawed we really are.

Some will see my admittance to the error, but many will not. Oh well, it is what it is.

Too bad our president doesn't show your humility...:o)

I read your mea culpa. I accept it as an honest mistake. It's understandable. The model in the video is probably a 40%-scale model, which means it is almost half the size of the real one. That translates into a "toy" airplane that's 8-feet long with a 9+ foot wingspan and weighs in at around 30 or so pounds. These use 10-20HP engines that swing 30-inch propellers. IOW, They're big enough to fool anyone at a distance, especially someone not familiar with the state of the model airplane world.

If you go to this Youtube video and watch the part where they take the model out of the lake after the crash, you'll get a pretty good idea how big they really are.
