That's truly disturbing. Same amount of work as building full scale,
but you gotta stand on the ground and watch it. I like big RC, but
never understood putting so much into a model, when the same work
could produce something one could actually fly IN.
Amazing.

We have a club nearby that flies large scale RC (we also have a large scale
rocketry group around too according to the occasional NOTAM). Most of those
I've spoken with would rather stay on the ground, despite the fact that it
would be cheaper to learn to fly gliders than fly RC at those scales.
Perhaps their learning phase was more agonizing or traumatic, having
witnessed an impact or two and being thankful they weren't aboard. One such
recently joined our club and completed his license, so there's hope.
