Default Monster Garage…err…Hanger

I don’t watch much TV but recently I’ve been catching the Discovery channel’s (I think) show called Monster Garage. For those that haven’t seen the show (like me a couple weeks ago) a team of people are challenge to take a vehicle and turn it into some sort of freak of nature.

Examples: a PT Cruiser/wood chipper or a Chevy Suburban/Wedding chapel with pipe organ.

While watching last night’s episode, the wood chipper cruiser, I wondered if anybody has done a monster creation with an R/C model?

What would be some cool creations? Even if it didn't fly!

did you see the Mazda RX-7 they put a 5th wheel on and blew to pieces with a gattling? Spectacular but too bad for the awsome car

I've converted good, dependable aeroplanes into post hole diggers and tree trimmers.

One of my proudest moments was when I misjudged an approach and hit a tree at a fun fly. Spun the plane around completely, but I was still able to bring the plane in nicely with a piece of branch sticking completely through the wing.

Thunderous applause.

Hey Charlie P. That reminds me of the time my GP F-15 tried to play wrecking ball with a warehouse. Warehouse won, but got a baseball size hole in it.

I saw the one where they fired golf balls. Pretty cool.

I once turned my thermal glider into a cross-country flier. Only problem is I don't know what part of the country to flew off to.

Charlie LOL!

I like to build a plane with a chain saw engine but leave the bar and chain on, for as many times I've put a bird in the trees

Turned my plane into a weed-wacker quite a few times . One plane had a Sears hedge trimmer engine in it. So, it changed from a hedge trimmer, to a plane, to a weed-wacker at the end of the runway.
