RE: GTM Hanriot Build
I fully concur...gas is the way to go if your flying site conditions allow it..although the reality is that it is more and more difficult to find adequate sites in some areas of the country these days. I wish more pilots would visit some of the serious scale competitions to understand the "way of life" that building and flying scale models can become...this is not "flash in the pan" preparation,wheel around the sky type of flying, pack up and go home ( as electric would have it) ....this is reverent commitment to the complete genre of correct presentational WWI flying. That starts at home with checking all systems...knowing you will have at least 1/2 an hr. or more, of fully enjoyable Zen time putting your beauty together, fueling up, and cleaning up the oil residue only adds to the patina....any scale modeler knows how to prevent this from harming his model with correct building foresight. Nothing compares to the site and sound (4 Stroke hopefully) of a WWI model flown in the scale like manner of the original......in this regard we can appreciate the jet guys with their turbines...finally the total package at our fingertips !! Now wheres that hun at now??
