So I understand this thread has been gone for a while now and I just want to say one thing. Watched a friend of mine take off a .60 size trainer and fly it for a total tank of fuel. Never touched a rc plane in his life and landed better then half the guys i know that have been doing it for 40 years. Bottom line reuven was right. I have read to may posts on here where new people have gotten slammed. Man am I glad i wasnt at YOUR guys flying fields when I started. If I was, I wouldnt have been around in RC today, you are so discouraging. I had crazy ideas when I started and the "guys" brought me down to ground level in a very easy way. you all do realize that he was only talking about a 12 foot wingspan right? How many guys have built planes that large, pletny, look on youtube. Albeit that its not the place to start. But i really hope someday this guy posts his success and all you neigh-sayers jaws are on the floor. I really hope you eat it. You all werent trying to help him out, you were like the Sr. football jocks telling the stupid freshman weenie what was up. Hope your chests feel nice and big now. Please, lets try and keep the sport going and help out new guys, not make them hate the community in the first week and give up on it. THATS MY .02 cents, not to mention Im willing to bet that 65% of all the laws and regualtions were googled, not from first hand experience. So what he gets in to deep and buils one with a 7' wingspan and flys it @ 300', Im sure he knew his ideas were out of sight, but it pays to be a dreamer, and not a skeptic, look at the Wright brothers...right?
