1. Does this thing qualify for Light Sport Aircraft rules?
2. Homeland Security is going to have Kittens when they see this. They are already trying to shut down model rockets as a threat to our nation's airways. HECTOP wrote: Oh, BUFF! http://www.scalerchelis.com/forum/in...&f=17&t=2382&s HECTOP PP-ASEL-IA http://www.maxho.com maxho_at_maxho.com

Homeland Security is going to have Kittens when they see this. They are already trying to shut down model rockets as a threat to our nation's airways. Agreed. I fly RC. The FBI has already visited one of the Muslim members of my club to see why he was buying hydrochloric acid in large quantities--he was anodizing some of his engine parts. He answered the door wearing one of his nuclear shirts--he's a physicist who works for a local university reactor. :-O Marty

You know you're into the edges when your "scale model" plane is heavier than some legal *piloted* flying machines. (Some guy built a C-130 on about the same scale, which would do LAPES or paradrops...) Very nice. My only question is... will it drop anything? If you tell me their next project is a scale MOAB, I'm going to be scared.

If you tell me their next project is a scale MOAB, I'm going to be scared. MOAB's too big for a BUFF's bomb bay, isn't it? Some friends of mine have, for years, been holding an informal "Siege Engine Competition" to see how far one may propel a standard twelve-ounce beer can. I idly suggested once that one ought to build a tenth-scale B-52 and load it with a couple cases. Not being much of a mathemetician, I have no idea what the payload of a tenth-scale BUFF would be, though. Instead of an "Arc Light" strike, it'd be "Bud Light"... -- Marc Reeve actual email address after removal of 4s & spaces is c4m4r4a4m4a4n a4t c4r4u4z4i4o d4o4t c4o4m

How dare you post something about an airplane you can't get inside and fly!
Shame, Shame, Shame. :-) Actually, I want to know how they keep that tool cart in place with 8 engines running. IIRC, those AMT engines produce something like 35-70 lb of thrust each! -- Bob (Chief Pilot, White Knuckle Airways) I don't have to like Bush and Cheney (Or Kerry, for that matter) to love America "HECTOP" wrote in message .. .
