Good show Dave, Whats next for you a R/C pilot, then all you need is tiny stick, petals & lever. Don`t forget a tiny chute so when his master gets in trouble he can save him self!!I haven`t had so much fun since the hogs ate my sister! HAHA MAX

FlyboyDave:Looks like the only way that could have been worse was for it to have hit your car!! Looks like your "El Piloto" will fly again, may need to give him a raise in pay. I hate to see planes re-kitted. Good Luck.

Very nice detail on the pilot, and if you put a small pinion gear you could make your pilots arms move also..like look to the left and raise his arm to wave...just a thought. Beautiful plane by the way.

I just got a Magic Extra and I made the pilot turn his head. My set up is very smiler to yours. Like you I have been thinking about doing this for a long time and It seamed like the normal thing to do.

That's pretty neat. Another way to do it is to sever the head off. Then glue two piece's of balsa one into the top of the torso with a hole in it for the dowel, and the other in the neck. Then simply glue the head onto the dowel. Glue the body to fuselage, and stick the head on the dowel down through the body into basically just like you have it. That way the head turns, but not the body.
I got the idea or don't know if you can call it an idea from my old manx electric car. It had a pilot that had a head that turned with the steering.
