JohnRich 4 #1 January 7, 2010 Here's an advertisement for a cool radio-controlled Otter model airplane: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=578555 Although they call it a Blue Angels plane, I don't think that's really correct. The Blue Angels may use Otters for support aircraft, but this one has "Marines" stenciled on the wings, and that would be incorrect for a Navy aircraft. But what the heck, it's an Otter, and it's neat! Taxi it out and take-off right beside the big boy. Update: I'm told that the Blue Angels DO use a Marine support aircraft, but it's a C-130, not an Otter. So this is really just an Otter with a Blue Angels paint scheme.

The couple of times I tried radio-controlled airplanes, I realized that I didn't really need landing gear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shah269 0 #6 January 7, 2010 If you want to get into RC planes and can spare say $200 just order a superfly from http://superflyrc.com/ I have / had one. I flew the wing off it! Well over a thousand flights. Finally she just started looking too ratty and i'm rebuilding her.Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

keithbar 1 #7 January 7, 2010 I just love the sportsmans guide. my big redneck ass has bought enough hunting stuff from them over the years to fill the bed of several pickups i have on occasion been accused of pulling low . My response. Naw I wasn't low I'm just such a big guy I look closer than I really am . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
