Hey, wait a minute - I got to thinking about those standard, non-modeler, bystander questions - you know the ones: "How fast can it go?" "How high does it fly?" "How far away can you fly?" and thought therein lies the answer: 'Even If I tried to fly my half-scale model up to 400', it would become so small, I wouldn't be able to see it and then it wouldn't matter so therefore I never even get close.' Add to that: 'Anything any smaller can't even come close to approaching half that height without losing sight of it...'

The stress was taking its toll on me - I had several beers when I wrote the reply; I'll review it when I'm more clear-headed.
