Even if Northrop Grumman attend to make this passes i would never describe there machine as a Model.
Guinness Records clearly state : "Fastest remote-controlled jet-powered Model aircraft ".
Niels and Northrop Grumman X-47b machines belong in the same class and they are not models.
Our models are scale reproduction of a man-carrying aircraft .Thats why at least all have a cockpit design and they do take off and land conventionally.
As said in some Model events you even get disqualified with out a pilot figure.
Neil has build a remote controlled jet-powered aircraft. I have congratulated him for his achievement ,
but i pointed out a mistake: You cant call an X-47b a model.Or Neils aircraft just because its small.
Thats why for some of us David Shulman holds the record of the "Fastest remote-controlled jet-powered Model aircraft " .
Nothing more to say...taking off from this one.
Wow. I guess I learned something today. A plane has to have a cockpit to be a model aircraft. What are all my rc planes without cockpits? I don't know of any event you get disqualified without a pilot unless it is a SCALE Model Contest.
