Good thinking Motorboy. The problem would be to get a plane to last for the whole 15+ mile flight. Assuming you could instantly reach and travel 60 MPH it would still take 15 minutes to fly through.
Do electrics last that long?
I got a few gas guzzlers that will last 30 minutes +. They'd work, but you'll never see me do anything like that.
Just remember: any accidents caused and injuries sustained will have to be paid in full by the pilot.[&:]

Ok.. somebody needs to give this a try in the Holland Tunnel (between NJ and NYC) during rush hour. Now that would be a challenge!!!

really was weird to watch the model from behind from the point of view of the pilot in the car. still was a stupid thing to do though. if there had been an accident, some do-gooder out there would love to sink his or her claws into that for an opportunity to try and get model flying banned because its,"dangerous". theres always some busy bodies out there who want to find something they dont understand and try to get it banned.
nicely flown though all the same. good skill.
