I went and watched the jets fly in St Charles yesterday and it was HOT!
No shade unless you brought it with you. Sitting on wooden bleachers!
But that was some of the coolest rc stuff I've seen in a while. One pilot had an F14 they said was $25,000. These things absolutely hauled butt! Making passes across the runway at over 160mph, 5 feet off the ground, sometimes inverted.
Forget how cool any truck can get, it can't touch these planes.
Next weekend is the Giants; planes with 80" wingspan or greater. They announced that they have a guy bringing a plane with 180" wingspan. I'll be there to see that!
