ORIGINAL: Skyhigh Bev Ken & Bill, Not sure if the gators qualify as RC unless you're talking boats!, However, the Heron does qualify in RC planes...hmm, is that electric or glo, and how many servos would you need??? I did see a 3 to 4 foot gator in one of the lakes out at the park a couple of days ago. Not worried about the little ones, but a woman was killed by a nine footer a few months ago just beyond our corner of the field (outside the park) but within a few hundred yards of it....yes the gator was caught a few days later (stomach contents confirmed it was the correct one) The west boundary of Markham Park borders the Everglades!!! (our flying field is on the east corner of the park) Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom ...with planes!!! Bev Well at least you can see and avoid them, out at the field I fly at we have long grass the other side of the field where there are rattlesnakes or so I hear, I have not seen or heard ones, but we did get a warning in one of our newsletters about them http://www.sccmas.org/pdf/servochatter/sc_051506.pdf page 12 if interested I always take care picking up my crashed plane.
