Foxx the reason your plane must have a pilot is that in real life planes dont fly themselves they have pilots in them. now if you goto some big events and look the pilots most people use dont look like "Dolls" there is alo a place "Pilots by Diane" she makes scale pilots for people and sews the clothes for the era and country and plane your pilot is flying in. people dont get dolls there are a lot of places that make some really good looking action figures at scale. The Ultimate Soldier series is one and you can find them at walmart etc. goto my website here http://home.mchsi.com/~jahuntley/hurricane/hur12.html theres some pics of one of the scale pilots everything is fabric but the actual chute.

also the rules sate you cannot eject your pilot to parachute down due to the fact a plane cannot fly without a pilot. but if mine was out of control and going in i would eject him
