Two weeks ago I was out walking my dog in the local county park. After we walked around the track a vehicle pulled up and a guy got out then helped another guy into a wheel chair.
I was getting ready to leave and they got out a radio control box and a F-16 that was about 2 or 2 1/2 feet long. I figured this is going to look funny with a prop on its nose and sound strange for a jet. So I waited and watched.
It took to flight and did not have a prop. It had an electric fan in the fusalage. It sound pretty cool. The guy in the wheel chair was having fun until it crashed and the nose broke off.
They had crashed it before. Just glue it back together. The battery is rechargable and it will fly for 7 to 8 minutes. Some of the toys we can get now. :scratch_head
