Since when have model aircraft had working flaps?

[Vulcan Grey]

my Hobby Lobby Telemaster 40 trainer had flaps (20 years ago)... 5 Channel trainer plane

I've seen RC airplanes with leading edge slats, speed brakes, flaps, elevons, rudder-vators, flap-avators, flap-erons, V-tail, forward swept...

I've been there! Pikes Peak is lots of fun, even if it is mostly paved now. I've been up it both by car and by motorbike, and one time I followed it the next day with a motorbike run up nearby Mount Evans, also great fun. Pikes and Evans are two of the three highest public-accessible automobile roads in North America, each reaching over 14100 feet. I didn't drive aeroplanes that high when I was taking lessons in them!

I very highly recommend a drive up both mountains if any of you guys are ever passing through that way.

^ Insane driving.

[Bibs]

Doh!

As for the Aermacchi...an excellent piece of modelling, very well flown, and the video was excellent, too...far removed from most of the Youtube out of focus fumbling. Well done all round....that sort of quality is not easy.

Doh!

somehow this comes to mind

[Petrol feet driven]

Do you think that this is yet one more person that power has gone to his head, or just a prat.

Now this is what I call a card and I bet it didn't take 25 years.

Search "Jimi Hendrix: A stylophonic tribute" on YT.....who is that maestro of the electronic mini-keyboard ?

[Petrol feet driven]

This is just great...

Reminds me of a old kids program but can't remember what it was called?

[alan]

Nice, but $60,000 for a table?!?

[Iconic Ride]

$30,000 is for the table itself, Alan. The other $30,000 is for the insurance premium to cover lawsuits for your guests' missing digits.
