Nice send-off. I can remember building and flying Guillows rubber models when I was a kid, then letting them go off the 2nd story lit up for a last crash&burn.

David, The paintball gun thing sounds like fun.
Do you get extra points for shooting the pilot?

"Was I suppose to remove the radio equipment first. "

"Do Norwegian's stomp their planes to give them a "New World send off"?"

Hope to be able make a plane last long enough to actually do this too.
