Bryce. That would be cool with the C-17 and the tank. Why wait till I land. The plane is equipped with a container which house a Land rover that slides out the back in flight and parachutes down!.

These 1/9th scale tanks weigh just about 34lbs each Ali (probably another 2 or 3 pounds each when I finish adding more to them.) So flying around with an extra 70 or so pounds may keep you a bit more "on edge" definately would'nt want to do one of those scale ballistic takeoffs that I've seen you do in the video......
I figured maybe we could just do a re-enactment of this event.........[link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eXpp9U-Zt4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eXpp9U-Zt4[/link] that way everything would be scale with no risk involved.......or inflight CG changes to deal with, would'nt want to end up like that C-130 drop gone bad.[

All in all sounds like great fun, one of these days, I'm sure it'll all come together one way or the other.
In the meantime.........instead of hanging in San Fran or Jose........just make a beeline for the desert and everything else will work itself out down there at the willow because with jets or tanks......the result is always the same.......[link=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jy4Y-kWU8v4&feature=related]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jy4Y-kWU8v4&feature=related [/link]
