I loved that movie! As a former model airplane hobbyist, I loved the line "But the principles are the same!"

I love the original film, too. The fact that the (model) airplane designer was German, a few years after WWII, was a pivotal element of the movie. The others distrusted him. I just don't see how the remake can capture that, unless it is done as a '50s period piece. To toss an anvil to this already-sinking production, some numbskull cast Giovanni Ribisi as the aircraft designer. IMO, the only bit of good acting to his credit was his death scene in Saving Private Ryan.

For RC and gliders. But I saw a picture in some model airplane magazine (early 60s) of a whisk broom with a shortened handle with a Fox 15 strapped on the handle and some rudimentary wings and a yoke/elevator system hooked up to a u control.
Looked just like the model airplane hillary would fly.

If you think this movie looks bad, wait until next year when the remake of The Longest Yard comes out. Starring Adam Sandler. (that is almost criminal).
