You didn't accidentally miss a decimal point off that did you Dave?? :lol:

I'm sure I've seen a C17 flying before and while it was impressive.. there's something about the bigger models that doesn't look right. I think it's probably the scale speed always seems a little OTT. :)

I agree Dave....speed of R/C's are off putting....but the take off seemed right...?

£32,000! There was a guy in this month's pilot magazine who only paid £27,000 for a real North American Navion, I know which I'd rather have. Although looking at the size of that C-17 I could probably fit in the cargo bay.....

Having hovered around the RC scene in the mid to late 90s, there is a lot of "mine's bigger than yours", particularly when large hobby store owners come head to head!
