Default RE: 1/4 scale F9F Panther build

ORIGINAL: Terry Holston

Looks like PALOS flying field to me.......If so, That highway is farther away than it looks on a video. I'd worry about the trees more than the highway. LOL

I judged the size of the jet (large) verses the size fo the cars. Most guys don't realy have a handle on how far their aircraft is from them. Just strap a camera to the belly of the Panther and I think you might be supprized at how far away you are actually flying. I had a house that was 1/4 mi away from the end of a model runway and 90% of the guys would fly over the road,my house and the neihbors and when I brought to their attension they would tell me I was full of ***** and no way they were flying that far away. I told them next time check the size of thier wing span verses the size of my windows and they will see that their planes are smaller than my windows. Problem solved.
