Maybe this "Giant" size craze will end when someone kills 5 or 6
bystanders.
I'm an ex RC flyer and never felt there was any need for these super
large RC
planes other than to boost the owner / builder's ego. Mac now flying
full
size acft.

What's so bad about people building giant models if they take
satisfaction from doing so? I certainly got a kick out of seeing it-
an amazing demonstration of design and fabrication skill.

Agreed. People do super large for the same reason they do immaculate
finishes, mind bending scale detail, and flying lawn mowers -
owner/builder's ego.

I was thinking how sad it was to see it crash. Then I remembered how sad it
is to see some great flying model moldering in someone's garage because they
moved on to newer projects.

The great thing about models is that crashing is a (relatively harmless)
part of the game. I'm looking at the crew working with the B52 and thinking
of the great stories they have about the model "you just can't imagine how
well if flew..." and "you should have seen the fire....."

Anyone want to talk about the morality of modeling weapons of mass
destruction? Nevermind.
